PREFACE. 


In this edition of the Catalogue and History of Sigma Chi, the aim of its editors has been 
to secure practical interest and utility. Its defects in many minor details are fully realized 
and frankly deplored ; but they are believed to be such only as are inevitably incident to the 
publication of so elaborate and comprehensive a book by men actively engaged in business 
and in professional work, from which they have taken such time as they were able to devote 
to a labor of love. It would require a volume of itself to tell the history of this book and to 
explain the peculiar difficulties that have surrounded its successful publication. Many of 
them are known to the fraternity, and others will be patent upon a perusal of the general 
fraternity history ; but the real magnitude of the undertaking here brought to a successful 
issue will be comprehended only by those who have been actively identified with the work. 
The scope of the book is sufficiently indicated by the table of contents and by an examina¬ 
tion of the volume itself. The historical features have been arranged with a view to the 
utmost compactness of statement consistent with historical completeness and practical utility. 
So far as possible, uninteresting details have been omitted. The illustrations are views of the 
buildings and grounds of the various institutions at which chapters of Sigma Chi have been 
established. They have been taken from photographic negatives made expressly for this 
book; and the choice of subject and arrangement has in most cases been left to the mem¬ 
bers of the chapters located at the respective institutions. The few omissions that occur are 
due to the inability of the editors to secure satisfactory photographs of the institutions 
omitted. The illustrations taken as a whole, form the only considerable collection of views 
of American college buildings or grounds ever published, and this feature of the book is 
•therefore entirely unique. The collection of college histories is also believed to be the best 
in existence. The biographical features of the book need very little explanation. The mem¬ 
bers have been arranged alphabetically under their appropriate chapters and classes, except 
in the cases of the Psi and the Gamma Gamma, where the class system does not prevail. At 
the former (the University of Virginia) the members have been arranged according to the 
years in which they left the institution ; and at the latter (Randolph-Macon College) they 
bave been arranged under the years during which they were initiated, this being the most 
■convenient method of classification. The biographical data has been made as succinct as 
possible, and a great deal of abbreviation has been employed. The abbreviations, however, 
are those in general use, and will require no comment. So far as practicable, the chrono¬ 
logical order has been followed in the arrangement of the biographical material under each 
name. As this is the first catalogue of Sigma Chi in which the attempt has been made to 
give the full names of all members, a great deal of difficulty has been experienced in securing 
the necessary information. Where a member has been connected with more than one chap¬ 
ter, his name occurs under each of the chapters of which he has been a member, the others 
being indicated by the Greek letters under the name near the right hand margin of the page. 
As a general rule, the main portion of the biographical data relating to such a member has 
been given under the name as it occurs under the chapter at which he was originally initiated 
into the fraternity ; and where the name occurs under other chapters, only those biographical 
facts are given which in some manner relate to his connection with such chapters or the insti¬ 
tutions at which they are located. To this rule, however, it was found necessary to make 
quite a number of exceptions. If a member is a graduate of any institution, the degree 
taken by him appears as the first item in his biography. Unless otherwise indicated, the first 
of these degrees was conferred in the year and by the institution under which the name of 
the member appears. The year in which other degrees were conferred are stated wherever 

(v)

PREFACE. 


known; and where degrees were conferred by other institutions than that under which the 
name of the member appears, this fact is indicated if known, and if not known, the degree is 
separated from the other degrees by appropriate spacing. The degree of Master of Arts is 
assumed to have been taken in cursu , or three years after graduation, and no dates have 
been given unless this assumption is known to be incorrect, in which case the proper date is 
noted. Before going to press, a proof slip containing his own biographical data was sent to 
each member of the fraternity. These proofs were mailed under seal with proper directions 
for the return of the letter if not delivered. All addresses that from any reason are believed 
to be incorrect are indicated by a dagger (f) placed before the address, and the asterisk (*J 
ndicates that the member before whose name it is placed is now deceased. No secret signs 
or symbols have been employed. As much time was occupied in the printing of the book, an 
Addenda has been added to include necessary corrections and additions. The names of 
honorary members are included under the classes of the year in which they were initiated 
respectively, but have been separated from the names of the regular members by a dash. So far 
as known, the present occupation, business or profession of each member immediately follows 
his name. To this rule an exception has been made in the cases of all who were active 
members of some chapter at the date of publication. It will therefore be understood that 
wherever no occupation has been given immediately after, and upon the same line with, the 
name of any person included as a member of any class prior to that of 1889, this omission is^ 
due to lack of information. All persons included as members of classes later than that of 
1889, were active members of the chapter under which they occur. As the first two hundred 
pages of this Catalogue were printed prior to the graduation of the class of 1889, the occupa¬ 
tions of members of that class who were active members at the date of printing have not been 
given in this portion of the Catalogue, but will be found in the Addenda. The occupa¬ 
tions of all living members of the Gamma Gamma, except those of the active members at the 
date of publication, are given. The printing of the biographical portion of the book was 
finally completed in the Spring of 1890. 

The publication of this Catalogue and History was first definitely proposed and advo¬ 
cated by Walter L. Fisher, Chi, ’83, and Charles A. Wightman, Omega, ’85, in 1883 ; and 
its compilation was authorized by the Fifteenth Grand Chapter in 1884. Mr. Wightman was 
elected Grand Historian, and entered into the work with energy and enthusiasm. He soon 
discovered that there was no foundation upon which he could build, and that it was necessary 
to start his work at the very beginning, using such original records as were in existence and 
corresponding with individual members for the purpose of supplementing this information. 

In this work the material collected by Mr. Harry S. Dixon, Psi, ’61, the first Grand Historian 
of the fraternity, proved of great value. The amount of time and labor expended by Mr. 
Wightman was enormous. Thousands of letters were written and thousands of circular^ 
were mailed to the members of the fraternity. The material thus obtained was arranged and 
classified with great care ; and in 1885 he had succeeded in preparing the manuscript of the 
biographical material and also a series of very brief historical sketches of most of the chap¬ 
ters. But such were the difficulties in the way of completeness and accuracy that this- 
manuscript was regarded only as an approximation to the high ideal set by the Publication 
Committee, which then consisted of Walter L. Fisher, Charles A. Wightman, Frank M. 
Elliot, William M. Booth and Dr. E. Wyllys Andrews. The work of revision was at once 
undertaken, but circumstances soon compelled Mr. Wightman to resign the main editorial 
care of this work ; and the entire matter was placed under the editorial management of Mr. 
Fisher, by whom the book has been issued. Using the original manuscript of the Grand 
Historian as a basis, the entire material has been greatly increased and radically revised, the 
historical portions of the book having been entirely rewritten. The number of letters'and 
circulars sent out again reached far into the thousands. Since the Summer of 1888, Mr. 
Charles Ailing, Jr., Chi, ’85, Theta Theta, ’88, has been actively identified with the work

of publication, and for a great many months devoted a great portion of his time to a 
mass of exacting details involved in the actual printing of the book. In addition to this he 
has rendered valuable services in an editorial capacity. The admirable series of college 
histories is almost entirely the work of Rev. John C. S. Weills, of the Original Nu ; and Mr. 
Mason Bross, of the Omega, has had personal charge of the illustrations. Much of the 
success of this book is also due to the assistance of Dr. Frank T. Andrews, of the Omega, 
whose active cooperation in all the features of their work has been most highly appreciated 
by the editors. Ellsworth G. Ritchie, of the Beta; Clarence S. Pellet, of the Alpha Zeta, 
and Arthur T. Welles, of the Kappa, as members of the Committee on Publication, appointed * 
in 1886, and Edwin L. Shuman and Jesse J. Shuman, of the Omega, took an active part in 
the work of completing the biographical material of their own and other chapters. The 
title which appears on the cover was designed by Samuel R. Ireland, of the Theta Theta. 
In the laborious work of mailing circulars, reading proof and preparing the Residence 
Directory and the Alphabetical Index, the assistance of John T. McCutcheon, of the 
Delta Delta; Frederick L. Prentiss, of the Theta Theta; Irwin J. Smith and Thomas 

G. Creaghead, of the Zeta Psi; James Todd, of the Chi; Harry D. McLallen, of the 
Lambda ; Charles Johnston, of the Xi, and Clifford C. Burrowes, of the Beta, is entitled to 
special and grateful recognition. The editors also desire to acknowledge the valuable assist¬ 
ance given by the following gentlemen, among others : General Ben. P. Runkle and James 
P. Caldwell, of the Alpha; Hon. Orville S. Brumback, of the Beta, Sigma and Theta

SIGMA CHI. 


Although the first distinctive Greek-letter fraternity, the Phi Beta 
Kappa, was founded at' William and Mary College, in the Province of 
Virginia, in 1776, the college fraternity system really dates its origin from 
the birth of the Kappa Alpha Society, at Union College, in 1825. At its 
inception the Phi Beta Kappa was a social and fraternal organization, differ¬ 
ing in no essential particular from the Greek-letter fraternities which now 
occupy so important and unique a position in the American college world. 
The death of the parent chapter, however, during the Revolutionary War, 
transferred the reins of authority to the chapters at Harvard and Yale, under 
whose control the Virginia brotherhood speedily became a formal honorary 
organization; and such it has since remained. For half a century the idea of 
an undergraduate fraternity strangely slept, until during the decade preceding 
1830, it started into sudden and vigorous life in the congenial atmosphere 
of Union College, at Schenectady, New York. Here the organization of 
Kappa Alpha was speedily followed by that of Delta Phi and Sigma Phi 
in 1827 ; and with these three the Greek-letter fraternity system began. In 
many respect’s the trio were singularly similar in aim and temper, and their 
subsequent careers have been strangely parallel. So strongly developed 
was either their conservatism or their timidity, that at the close of that first 
decade in its history, the fraternity system was still confined to Union Col¬ 
lege and to the three fraternities already named. The second decade also 
produced its trio of fraternities. They were Alpha Delta Phi, Psi Upsilon 
ajid Beta Theta Pi. Of these, one only, Psi Upsilon, was born at Union ; 
and if it has differed from the elder children of the “ Mother of Greeks,” 
it has been in degree and not in kind. 

The first fraternity to be organized outside of the portals of Union and 
free from its peculiar traditions, was the Alpha Delta Phi, which was founded 
at Hamilton College, at Clinton, New York, in 1832. The fourth fraternity 
in point of age, it was the first to establish a chapter in the West; and in 
1835 ^ granted its first charter to a chapter at Miami University, at Oxford, 
Ohio. The significance of this step can be appreciated only by recalling 
that at this time Kappa Alpha had barely passed its first decade, and had 
established but one chapter, that at Williams College, in Massachusetts, 
that Delta Phi was still confined to Union, and that Sigma Phi had granted 
its only charter in furnishing a rival for Alpha Delta Phi at Hamilton. 

With but six chapters in existence, and these confined to three colleges, 
the fraternity system chose Miami University as the fourth institution at 

(xxi)

which to plant its standard, and to which to intrust its future. That it 
chose wisely was not long in being shown. Miami was a unique institution 
in history and in spirit. The pioneer of those flourishing universities which 
have sprung into usefulness and prominence through governmental aid, it 
has in many other ways exerted a marked influence upon the educational 
development of the nation. The idea of select associations founded upon 
the union of culture and good fellowship, took firm root in its fertile soil; 
and not only did Alpha Delta Phi flourish, but, in 1839, the sixth American 
fraternity was born at Miami University, under the name of Beta Theta Pi, 
to be followed by Phi Delta Theta, as the second Miami fraternity, in 1848. 

The Sigma Chi Fraternity was founded at Miami University, at Oxford, 
Ohio, on June 20, 1855, by Isaac M. Jordan, Ben. P. Runkle, James P. 
Caldwell, Frank H. Scobey, Daniel W. Cooper, Thomas C. Bell and William 

L. Lockwood. The circumstances which led to its organization are fully 
given in the sketch of the Alpha Chapter, and need not be repeated here. 
It was a bold stand taken by the seven founders of a new fraternity at 
Oxford. Eighteen rivals,—if we include the only Roman-letter fraternity, 
the Rainbow, or W. W. W., and the then anti-secret fraternity, Delta 
Upsilon,—had already occupied the field with a hundred and fifty chap¬ 
ters, Beta Theta Pi and Delta Kappa Epsilon leading the list with nineteen 
chapters each. Alpha Delta Phi had established sixteen chapters, one 
of which was dead. Delta Psi had founded thirteen chapters, and had 
already lost five. Psi Upsilon was represented at eleven colleges ; Chi Psi 
and Zeta Psi had already entered nine ; and the remaining eleven fraternities 
had chapter rolls numbering from one to eight. In the face of such odds 
it was an act of courage to organize a new and independent fraternity in 
1855. But the confidence of the founders of the Sigma Chi was based 
upon a belief that the principles which they professed and the ideal of 
fraternity which they sought was but imperfectly realized by the organiza¬ 
tions by which they were surrounded. The establishment of Sigma Chi 
was a protest against artificiality and pretense, a plea for personal inde¬ 
pendence and for congeniality and genuine friendship as the only natural 
basis of association in a college brotherhood. It was a repudiation of the 
theory that would subordinate fraternity to strength of organization, or of 
numbers, or to any form of undergraduate ambition. The standard with 
which the fraternity started at the beginning, was declared by Hon. Isaac 

M. Jordan to be that “ of admitting no man to membership in it who was 
not believed to be a man of good character, of fair ability, of ambitious 
purposes, and of congenial disposition.” It was established upon no nar- 
row ideal of manhood, but upon the principle that true strength lies in a 
well rounded and symmetrical development of individual character. Sigma 
Chi was not then known, and has not since been known as a distinctively 
literary or scholarly or athletic or political or social organization, but its 


SIGMA CHI. 


XXlll 


laurels have been won equally in all these fields; and in them all, and 
through success in them all, the chief thing it has sought has been frater¬ 
nity—the fraternity of mutual helpfulness and of mutual pleasure. For 
this it has fostered good fellowship, aroused ambition, encouraged culture, 
broadened character, strengthened its powers of discipline and training, 
and perfected its governmental organization. To-day, strong in the strength 
of young, vigorous and successful manhood, claiming nothing but the recog¬ 
nition of its actual achievements, it challenges comparison with any rival, 
and presents the roster of its members and tells the brief story of its life. 

The fraternity was originally founded under the name of the Sigma 
Phi, but no significance has ever been attached to the similarity of this title 
to that of the fraternity established at Union in 1827. That it was the 
intention of the founders to organize a general and not a local fraternity, 
was shown by the prompt and successful measures taken for extension. Its 
first and most important consideration was properly to establish its position 
at home ; but so successful was it in its local affairs at Miami, that within 
a few months after its founding it began the work of colonization. The 
only institution of any prominence in the immediate neighborhood of 
Oxford was the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware, Ohio ; and here the 
first chapter of the fraternity was established on Christmas Eve, 1855. The 
tremendous importance of this step to the subsequent history of the frater¬ 
nity can scarcely be estimated. It certainly was not realized at the time, 
although it was a great event even then. The chapter at Miami went up 
to Delaware almost in a body, and the installation ceremonies were con¬ 
ducted with great enthusiasm. 

In order to distinguish one chapter from the other, and as a system to 
be followed in the future extension of the fraternity, it was decided to 
designate the chapters with the letters of the Greek alphabet. As the first 
and parent chapter, the Miami organization assumed the title of the Alpha; 
but as it was thought advisable to create the appearance of as large a 
chapter roll as possible, the strict alphabetical order was abandoned by 
giving the new chapter at Delaware the name of the Gamma. The same 
reason of temporary expediency subsequently led to even greater irregu¬ 
larity, and involved the chapter nomenclature in lamentable confusion. 
Considerations of this sort, however, little troubled the fathers of the 
fraternity. The two chapters at once entered into relations of the closest 
intimacy, and, by a system of constant intercommunication, fostered the 
warmest personal friendship between their members. So delightful and 
profitable was this fraternal intercourse that the year 1856 passed swiftly by 
with little to mark its progress save the rapid internal development of the 
society toward the ideal of its founders. 

However, one event of decided importance occurred during the month 
of January, 1856. The advent of the new fraternity had not been very 


XXIV 


SIGMA CHI. 


kindly received by its rivals at Miami; and its success in spite of their 
opposition had provoked a great deal of jealousy and ill-feeling, which 
finally found an outlet in the theft of the constitution and other archives of 
the chapter. Much to the disappointment of its perpetrators, this depreda¬ 
tion was taken very philosophically by the fraternity. The old constitution 
had been adopted under stress of circumstances, and was modelled very 
closely after that of Delta Kappa Epsilon. The propriety of draughting a 
new instrument was at once recognized, and an informal convention was 
called to meet immediately at Oxford. Charles Reynolds was sent as a 
delegate from the Gamma ; and with his assistance the Sigma Chi fraternity 
was formally organized in January, 1856; and a new constitution was 
adopted. The badge also was modified ; and the contract for furnishing the 
official jewelry was transferred from the former manufacturer at Cincinnati 
to a more competent firm in New York. At this time, also, an elaborate 
fraternity cipher was devised by Lockwood and Runkle, in which the con¬ 
stitution and other official papers continued to be written for several years. 
During this year (1856) a number of petitions were received and discussed 
by the fraternity, among them one from Michigan University; but no 
chapters were established. 

The new constitution provided for holding biennial conventions; and 
early in 1857 the Alpha began the work of preparation for the first of these 
important occasions. “ We have received a letter,” wrote Bell, of the 
Alpha, to Reynolds, of the Gamma, under date of January 24, 1857, “ from 
William W. Fosdick, accepting our invitation to read a poem before our 
biennial convention. It only remains to secure an orator. We have 
thought it advisable that each chapter should be represented in convention 
by a poet and orator, chosen from its own active members; and we have 
accordingly elected Ike Jordan, orator, and Ben Runkle, poet, hoping that 
this will meet with your approval, and that you will do likewise.” Again he 
writes: “We expect to hold the convention on the 18th or 19th of June 
next. Will that time suit you ? We expect to give $125.00 at least.” Asa 
matter of fact, this First Grand Chapter of the Sigma Chi met at Cincinnati, 
Ohio, on June 28, 1857, almost the anniversary of the founding of the order. 
Mr. Fosdick’s reputation as a poet attracted a considerable audience to 
Melodeon Hall, where his poem, entitled “ The West,” was read, and other 
public exercises were held. The entire affair was a distinguished success, 
and was closed with an elegant banquet at the Walnut Street House, at 
which Isaac M. Jordan spoke for the Alpha and James Watson responded 
for the Gamma. It is to be regretted that the official records of this con¬ 
vention have been lost; but, although the local papers devoted consider¬ 
able space to reports of the meetings, nothing has been preserved but the 
opening lines of Mr. Fosdick’s poem, which were as follows : 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxv 


“Ye brethren of the old Hellenic tie, 

The fair fraternity of Sigma Chi, 

What though your temple, gentle sons of peace, 

Rears not its altars ’mid the groves of Greece ! ” 

For a fraternity of two chapters and of two summers, this convention 
was a remarkable achievement, and justly inspired its members with confi¬ 
dence and enthusiasm, which was still further increased by the birth of the 
Eta Chapter at the University of Mississippi, on October io of this same 
year. On February 8, 1858, the Iota, at Jefferson College, was added to 
the chapter roll ; and when, during the succeeding summer, the Alpha dis¬ 
banded, it left the future of the Sigma Chi in the hands of as strong a trio 
of chapters as it has ever been the good fortune of any fraternity to possess. 
Nevertheless, to the fraternity the sudden demise of the Parent Chapter 
was a bolt from a clear sky. The strength of the Miami Chapter had been 
largely in the classes of 1857 and 1858; and while the graduation of these 
classes seriously threatened its future, the elements of weakness had been 
concealed by the local prominence given to the chapter by its members in 
the upper classes of the University. When, therefore, under Lockwood’s 
influence, the chapter decided to forestall its threatened decline along with 
the declining fortunes of the University, it was wholly without warning to 
the rest of the fraternity. On the part of the chapter itself, there had been 
during the year a very natural disinclination to discuss its dubious future; 
and it was not until the gravity of the situation force*d recognition, that it 
finally disbanded during the summer vacation. 

It was a serious position in which the fraternity found itself at the 
beginning of the Fall session of 1858. The dissolution of the Parent Chap¬ 
ter had not been accomplished without considerable feeling; and it was 
some time before its fate was fully made known to the remaining chapters. 
In all the work of the fraternity thus far, the Alpha had been the leader ; 
and the news of its demise now, during the early months of the college 
year, came like the death of a commanding general comes to an army in 
battle. It was a crisis calling for prompt and intelligent action; and the 
fate of the fraternity hung in the balance. The result was due to the 
remarkable degree of energy and ability which characterized the member¬ 
ship of the surviving chapters. By mutual consent the Gamma was 
invested with the responsibility and honor of leadership until formal action 
could be taken; and the work of the fraternity went resolutely on. 

Just prior to the dissolution of the Alpha, Milton Vernon, one of its 
members, had succeeded in interesting a number of students at the Indiana 
University in a petition to Sigma Chi; and under the belief that the emer¬ 
gency required immediate action, the Alpha had authorized the establish¬ 
ment of the new chapter without waiting for the formal vote of the fra¬ 
ternity. The broad claim of original authority in granting charters, 


XXVI 


SIGMA CHI. 


which was thus made by the Miami chapter, was promptly repudiated by 
the Gamma, and probably by the other chapters; but the fraternity was 
soon satisfied of the character and worth of the Indiana petitioners ; and 
the Lambda was gladly welcomed to the place just vacated by the Alpha, 
whose posthumous child she was. With the chapter roll thus restored to 
four, the fraternity was given new confidence ; and at once set to wdrk to 
reform its broken ranks. A petition was received from the University of 
North Carolina during this year but was refused. The loss of a leadership 
which would carry with it the sanction of tradition and paternity was 
seriously felt; and, although its age, its situation, and its enthusiastic devo¬ 
tion to the order, clearly entitled the Gamma to the succession, it first satis¬ 
fied itself of the impracticability of reviving the chapter at Miami before 
it took steps to assume the crown. Upon the return of the delegate (Mr. 
Parrott), whom it sent to Oxford to make investigation, a convention was 
called to meet with the Gamma at Delaware, Ohio, on April 27, 1859. 

To this, the second Grand Chapter of the fraternity, the Iota sent as 
her delegate, David Patton. The Lambda sent William W. Schermerhorn ; 
and H. Eugene Parrott represented the Gamma. The Eta was unable to 
send one of its own members, but was represented by Irving Halsey, of the 
Gamma. After the organization was effected, by the election of Irving 
Halsey as presiding officer, and Schermerhorn as secretary, “ the busi¬ 
ness of the meeting being stated, the constitution was taken up,” and this 
instrument was subjected to important amendment and alteration. The 
general direction of the governmental affairs of the fraternity was placed in 
the hands of a single chapter, to be known as the Parent Chapter, which 
was empowered to act as the official head of the fraternity during the inter¬ 
vals between the biennial sessions of the Grand Chapter, and to submit to 
a vote of all of the chapters any matters not directly provided for by the 
constitution itself. All petitions for the establishment of chapters required 
an affirmative vote of three-fourths of the active chapters before a charter 
could be issued ; and each new chapter was to be formally instituted or 
established by the chapter next adjacent thereto. The chapters were 
empowered to adopt such by-laws as they might see fit to govern their local 
and individual affairs, under the general regulations of the fraternity. The 
names of the chapter officers were changed from the original titles of Con¬ 
sul Primus, Consul Secundus, Scriba, Scriptor, Custos, Sessional Orator and 
Sessional Poet, to Sigma, Chi, Kappa, Iota, Delta, Orator and Poet; and a 
number of ritualistic alterations were made, including a change in the 
grip. The Gamma was chosen as the Parent Chapter; and under its 
vigorous administration the new governmental machinery was soon in suc¬ 
cessful operation. The delegates returned to their homes with renewed 
enthusiasm ; and before the close of that college year the Iota had secured 
the establishment of the original Nu at Washington College, and the 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxvil 


Lambda had been instrumental in founding the Xi at Indiana Asbury Uni¬ 
versity (now De Pauw). These additions were followed, on December 12, 
1859, by the establishment of the Omicron at Dickinson College ; and during 
the following year the fraternity materially strengthened itself by the estab¬ 
lishment of three new chapters in the South, where the Eta had hitherto 
been the only representative. The Mississippi chapter, however, had always 
been one of the most active branches of the fraternity; and to its efforts 
were due the establishment of the original Pi Chapter at Erskine College, 
in South Carolina, which in turn founded the original Sigma at the La 
Grange Synodical College, in Tennessee. Later in this same year (i860), 
the Omicron planted the standard of the White Cross on the historic soil of 
the University of Virginia, and completed the roster of the ante helium 
chapters of Sigma Chi. 

When the storm broke over the land and scattered the college boys of 
both contending sections, ten chapters answered to the roll call of the 
fraternity. Pennsylvania, with three flourishing chapters, was the strong¬ 
hold of the order. Indiana followed with two chapters ; and Ohio, Missis¬ 
sippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, were each represented on the 
list. Starting in Ohio, the fraternity had extended with impartial steps in 
each direction of the compass. Three states had been invaded on the 
east,—Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina. Three states had been 
invaded on the west,—Indiana, Tennessee and Mississippi. If six of its ten 
chapters were in the North, four of the seven states that had welcomed the 
wearers of the White Cross were south of Mason and Dixon’s line; and 
sectionalism was the last criticism that could have been made upon the 
fraternity. That the ideal of its founders had not been lost sight of was 
shown by the fraternal unity for which the order was chiefly distinguished. 
The intimacy that prevailed among all the widely scattered chapters was 
indeed remarkable. Not only was a voluminous correspondence conducted 
between them, but every occasion for an interchange of personal visits was 
improved. One of the features upon which great emphasis was laid by 
each of the chapters was the appropriate celebration of the anniversary of 
its founding; and the neighboring chapters were accustomed to send as 
large a delegation of their members as possible to participate in the accom¬ 
panying ceremonies. Distance was not always a barrier on these occasions; 
for in i860 the Gamma sent Alonzo W. Heeter to represent it at the annual 
celebration of the Eta. Unfortunately, while at Nashville, Tennessee, en 
route to Mississippi, Heeter was called home by the sickness of his father, in 
nursing whom he contracted a fatal illness. 

Early in i860 the Gamma began its preparations for the Third Biennial 
Convention; and upon its recommendation Wheeling, Virginia, was selected 
as the place at which the convention should be held. It was a significant 
choice, and aptly illustrates the scrupulous care with which the fraternity 


XXV111 


SIGMA CHI. 


guarded against all opportunity for the admission to its circles of the 
feeling of sectional antagonism which was about to rend the nation asunder. 
Here on the border line between the contending sections, on the soil of the 
Old Dominion, but at the capital of the only state which was born as the 
child of the Civil War,—on April 17, 1861, only one day before Virginia 
passed the ordinance of secession, the Third Grand Chapter of the Sigma 
Chi convened. It was a time of commotion and alarms and of intense 
excitement all along the border. Troops were being ordered to the front, 
and all the land was throbbing with the drum beat to arms. It was a 
remarkable scene, this fraternal conclave of college boys from North and 
South, meeting with the warm clasp of youthful friendship to devise 
measures for strengthening the cords of peace and of affection upon the 
very threshold of the bloodiest civil war of history. But so closely had 
been woven the silken threads of friendship, that all the bitterness of war’s 
worst ravages could only intensify their strength. It was the enthusiast who 
soon became General Ben P. Runkle, of the United States Volunteers, who 
wrote to his friend of the Gamma, who was shortly to enlist in the 84th 
Ohio Infantry, and who is now Judge Frank Baker, of the Chicago Bench : 

“ I have received your invitation to attend the Biennial Convention. Providence per¬ 
mitting, I will be with you. The place selected could not have been more happily chosen. 
On the soil of the Old Dominion let the true souled sons of the North and South meet 
together. Let us lay aside party spirit and sectional prejudice ; and, taking our Southern 
brethren by the hand with the magic grip, let us use our influence to bring them back to the 
glorious old Union—to bring them back under the shadow of that time-honored banner that 
has been our pride and protection. Let the stars and stripes float over the assembled 
convention, and the national airs stir up the patriotic souls of Sigmas, North and South. By 
the soul of Washington, gentlemen, I will be with you. This is a slender thread, but all the 
Abolitionists and Disunionists out of Hell can not sever it. Even if the Sigma Chi be the 
only tie which binds our affections to our Southern brethren, ‘ by the Eternal ’ we will 
preserve it.” 

And General Runkle was not the only prophet of the perpetuity of 
Sigma Chi. During this very month of April, 1861, the Pi Chapter at 
Erskine College in South Carolina, had disbanded because most of its 
members had already enlisted in the Southern army ; but its last resolution 
was the pledge that, wherever the fortunes of war should cast its members 
in the path of any Sigma Chi, the vows of friendship should be honored. 

With the exception of this chapter and the Original Sigma, all of the 
chapters were represented at Wheeling on this memorable occasion. The 
Pennsylvania chapters were present in force, and the Gamma had eight or 
ten of its members in attendance. Richard S. Druley, of the Xi, presided 
over the convention as Grand Sigma, assisted by Ambrose C. Smith, of the 
Iota, as Grand Iota, and Frank Baker, of the Gamma, as Grand Delta. 
The work of the convention was largely devoted to revising the ritual and 
arranging for the publication of a catalogue of the fraternity. Under the 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxix 


guidance of James W. Newman, of Gamma, Thomas M. Williams, of 
Omicron, and John H. Louden, of Lambda, the ritual was so ably revised 
and perfected that few changes of a radical nature have been found desir¬ 
able since. This document was safely preserved by being written in a new 
secret alphabet devised by the Grand Sigma and adopted by the conven¬ 
tion. To the Gamma was entrusted the compilation of the proposed 
catalogue, the convention having first passed a series of resolutions regu¬ 
lating the style of publication and providing for the main features of the 
design to be used as a frontispiece. Unfortunately, the tremendous events 
of the next few years delayed the completion of this work for more than a 
decade. 

The public literary exercises of this convention consisted of a poem 
by Hon. John J, Piatt, of the Gamma, and an oration by Rev. Dr. William 
A. Snively, of the Omicron. George D. Prentice, of Louisville, Kentucky, 
had been made an honorary member of the fraternity, and was to have deliv¬ 
ered the poem, but was prevented by the exigencies of the hour ; for on April 
18, 1861, Virginia passed the ordinance of secession, and the war was on. 
Nothing was lost, however, in the excellent poem, “The Library Window,” 
which was read by Mr. Piatt. Owing to the prevailing excitement, the 
attendance on these public exercises was not large ; but the banquet at the 
McClure House, which closed the convention, was a marked success, and 
Sigma Chi ignored the threatening war clouds, and declared her confidence 
in the preservation of peace by voting to hold the next Grand Chapter at 
Nashville, Tennessee, on December 3, 1862, with Hon. Alexander D. Lemon, 
of Lambda, as orator, and Rufus E. Shapley, of Omicron, as poet. Indeed, 
the only echo of the times that can be heard in the records of this memora¬ 
ble convention, is found in the interesting conclusion of the official minutes : 
““ Adopted at Wheeling, Va., April 18, 1861, A. D., and in the year of Inde¬ 
pendence the 85th, and the year of Revolution the first.” 

That convention at Nashville was never held. Long before the col¬ 
leges had closed in June of 1861, many of the boys of Sigma Chi had 
enlisted upon either side of the mighty struggle, and the State of Tennessee 
became one great contested battle-field. The limits of this sketch will not 
permit the recounting of the interesting war record of Sigma Chi. What a 
story of boyish heroism and fraternal loyalty it is ! To tell it aright one 
must follow each member who shouldered his musket and went bravely 
down into that long march with death, true to his country and his home, 
but wearing on his cap the White Cross badge, with its fraternal greeting 
alike to blue and gray. What a tribute to the reality of the brotherhood of 
Sigma Chi that story is ! Never in the darkest days of that fratricidal war 
did the faith of its members falter, or did they cease to look for the coming 
of that day when the old relationships would be restored and friends be 
reunited. The conception of a division of Sigma Chi, as a result of seces- 


XXX 


SIGMA CHI. 


sion, seems never to have had an instant’s lodgment in the Order. Never 
were vows more solemnly performed, nor more religiously respected, than 
those taken before the altar of the fraternity. When that convention at 
Wheeling adjourned, in 1861, James W. Newman, of the Gamma, and 
Reuben T. Pollard, of the Eta, went south to Cincinnati, Ohio, together ; and 
already had the cordon of bayonets been drawn so closely about Pollard’s 
Southern home, that it was with a sigh of relief that Newman gave him a 
warm parting grip as his train pulled safely out of the station on its way to 
Mississippi. Almost immediately thereafter the lines were closed, and com¬ 
munication ceased; and within a few weeks every Southern chapter had 
transferred its members to the army in the field. Here their chivalric devo¬ 
tion to the fraternity never flagged ; and through all those weary years the 
cause of Sigma Chi was not forgotten. 

In 1864, when the star of the Confederacy was declining, and the 
beginning of the end had come, Harry St. John Dixon, of the Psi, organ¬ 
ized in the Army of the Tennessee, under General Joseph E. Johnston, the 
celebrated Constantine Chapter of Sigma Chi, the most unique fraternal 
organization ever founded. It had been ascertained that there were a 
number of Sigmas from different chapters in this division of the Confeder¬ 
ate army; and in order to insure the perpetuation of the fraternity in the 
South, whatever would be the outcome of the war, it was decided to meet 
and perfect an organization. “ Furthermore,” wrote Dixon, in 1881, “ it 
was deemed expedient that we should know each other and our several 
commands, for purposes of relief in distress and communication with our 
Northern brethren in case of need.” The first meeting was held at night 
on the outskirts of the camp. Here, in a dilapidated log-cabin, by the 
light of one wretched tallow-candle, the chapter was formed, and the only 
two members ever initiated by it were admitted to a membership, which the 
fraternity has since been proud to recognize. The initiates were Thomas 
N. Fowler and A. B. Raffington. Fowler was a Lieutenant in the Twenty- 
eighth Mississippi Cavalry, and has resided in Mobile, Alabama, since the 
war. Raffington was a Corporal in Company D of the same regiment when 
he was killed at the battle of Mount Carmel, Tennessee, on November 29, 
1864. Harry S. Dixon was elected President of the chapter, and Harry 
Yerger, of Eta, was chosen Vice-President. Other members were Reuben 
T. Pollard, the delegate of Eta to the Wheeling convention, Evan J. Shelby, 
John M. Graham and William T. Driver, also of Eta, and W. H. Bolton, of 
the original Sigma. The campaign for the possession of Atlanta, and that 
of Nashville, followed so closely and hotly by the final scenes of the Spring 
of 1865, precluded any elaborate organization, and space will not admit 
even the details of all that was accomplished. The mere fact of organiza¬ 
tion was of itself a benefit. The celebrated Twenty-eighth Mississippi 
Cavalry contained three of the original members, and was the headquar- 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxxi 


ters of the chapter, where, from time to time, others dropped in and 
reported, thus keeping all informed of each other’s movements and sus¬ 
taining active interest in the fraternity. Dixon, in the mean time, had 
succeeded in communicating with the Northern chapters, and was suggest¬ 
ing to them the wisest course of action in view of impending events. This, 
in brief, is all that can here be written of the war history of Sigma Chi in 
the South. 

In the North, crushing as the blow was upon the infant organization, 
the colleges had not entirely suspended, and the continuous activity of the 
fraternity was preserved. In spite of the enlistment of large numbers of 
the active and alumni members in the Union army, none of the chapters 
suspended, except the original Nu at Washington College, in Pennsylvania. 
The loss of this chapter in 1863, was met by the founding of* the Theta, 
at Pennsylvania College, on April 3 of the same year. The Kappa was 
founded at the University at Lewisburg (now Bucknell University), in Penn¬ 
sylvania, on March 4, 1864, and the Epsilon at Columbian University, 
Washington, D. C., three months later, being formally instituted on June 
10, 1864. At this time the Pennsylvania chapters four in number, were 
running over with energy and enthusiasm; and on July 6, 1864, less 
than a month after the Epsilon had been established by a committee from 
Theta and Kappa, the Pennsylvania chapters met in convention at the St. 
Charles Hotel, in Pittsburgh. As this convention was without legislative 
authority, its proceedings were purely informal, and were confined to the 
discussion of various measures for the advancement of the fraternity sug¬ 
gested by the delegates present. The Epsilon was to have joined in the 
convention, but Thomas J. Miller, its representative, was prevented from 
reaching Pittsburgh by the “ raiders.” In the West, the Gamma, as the offi¬ 
cial head of the fraternity, was still zealously at work, and on July 6, 1863, 
elected Charles Evans as a delegate to an informal convention of Sigmas, 
to be held at Dayton, Ohio, during that month, of which, however, little 
is known beyond the fact that some modifications in the constitution 
were suggested by Thomas E. Powell, as the subject of discussion. The 
Lambda was flourishing in spite of the decimation made in its ranks by the 
war, and its annual celebration in 1864 was a brilliant success. The Xi, 
however, had suspended during this year; and it was not until April n, 
1865, that the Western chapters were able to meet in convention at the 
Burnet House, in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the meantime the Rho had been 
founded, on March 31, 1865, in the Northwestern Christian University, in 
the city of Indianapolis ; and the four chapters, then located in Ohio and 
Indiana, sent each a delegate to Cincinnati, to discuss the situation of the 
fraternity and the measures which had been proposed at Pittsburgh. 

These conventions proved effective in bringing the Eastern and 
Western divisions of the fraternity into closer communication. They 


XXX11 


SIGMA CHI. 


strengthened confidence in the vitality of Sigma Chi, and prepared the 
way for the very successful Grand Chapter, to which, on December 27 
and 28, 1865, all of the Northern chapters sent delegates to Pittsburgh. 
The main business of this convention was the consideration of plans for 
the reorganization of the Southern chapters, the condition of which had 
been fully reported by Harry S. Dixon. The promptness of this resump¬ 
tion of fraternal relations between the late contending sections was the 
subject of much comment at the time; and the press of Pittsburgh gave 
elaborate reports of the proceedings, supplying by conjecture what it was 
barred from gaining actual information of by the closed doors of the busi¬ 
ness sessions. The officers of this convention were Philip M. Bikle, of 
Theta, Grand Sigma; Reginald Fendall, of Epsilon, Grand Chi ; John G. 
Holmes, of Omicron, Grand Iota, and Maxwell Kinkead, of Upsilon (which 
had been founded at Philadelphia only two weeks before), as Grand Delta. 
At this convention a new change was made in the fraternity grip ; and the 
project of publishing an official magazine was discussed, but abandoned as 
being impracticable under existing circumstances. The social features of 
the occasion appear to have been thoroughly enjoyed by those in attend¬ 
ance, and the convention was closed with a delightful banquet at the St. 
Charles. 

According to the plans matured at this convention, the revival of the 
Southern chapters was at once taken vigorously in hand. It was not a 
hopeful task which confronted the fraternity. Of the colleges in the South 
at which Sigma Chi had been represented, two only, the Universities of 
Virginia and Mississippi, had passed through the terrible ordeal with suffi¬ 
cient vitality to justify the hope of a successful future. The re-establish- 
ment of the Psi at the former was entrusted to the Epsilon, which sent a 
committee to Charlottesville for this purpose soon after the adjournment of 
the convention. This committee, after a thorough investigation, returned 
and advised that the reorganization of the chapter be postponed until the 
beginning of the next college year, when their confidence was rewarded by 
the return to the University of Harry S. Dixon and the prompt re-establish¬ 
ment of the Psi. In the meanwhile the Eta had revived, and was supple¬ 
menting its prosperity at home by a vigorous interest in the fraternity at 
large. Through its efforts, aided by those of the Theta, a most valuable 
addition was acquired in the establishment of the Zeta at Washington and 
Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia, on December 10, 1866. 

These successes inspired the fraternity with increased enthusiasm ; and 
great preparations were made for the meeting of the Sixth Grand Chapter 
at Washington on December 27 and 28, 1866. The resumption of fraternal 
relations between the various sections of the fraternity had been hailed with 
the most unfeigned delight by all. A member of the Theta said in 1881 : 
“ I well remember the day the first letter (now in my possession) written 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxxiii 


from the University of Mississippi was received. Nothing in our fraternity 
life had given us so much pleasure as the reception of that single letter. 
We replied with delight, extending a hearty Sigma Chi greeting.” It was 
decided that the approaching convention must be a grand fraternal reunion ; 
and when it finally assembled in the Law Buildings of Columbian Univer¬ 
sity, delegates were present from nine of the thirteen chapters then in active 
existence. Those unrepresented were Kappa, Xi, Rho and Zeta, the last of 
which had been established less than three weeks, and the first of which 
was under the ban of a hostile faculty. It was the day of humiliation and 
poverty in the South; and nothing but the most indomitable zeal could 
have brought to the national capital Dixon and Joseph P. Sykes from the 
University of Virginia, and Wallace Wood from the more distant Univer¬ 
sity of Mississippi. In addition to these three, sixteen representatives of 
the Northern chapters responded to the preliminary roll call, and later the 
attendance was considerably increased. Nothing was more characteristic 
of the temper of the fraternity than the manner in which the Southern 
delegates were received and entertained. The recollection of the occasion 
was vivid in Dixon’s mind in 1881, when, after describing his apparel, he 
said: “ On my arrival in Washington I found myself a marked, if not a 
remarkable man. No one in that guise had been seen on the streets since 
i860. But the singularity of my appearance, to which my long hair and 
open vest only added, did not deter my Northern brethren from showing 
me every kindness. Indeed, they scented the lightness of my purse from 
afar and, before I had engaged a room at my hotel, almost vi et arrnis , 
carried me off to the private house of French, a resident brother. A like 
disposition was made of the other Southern delegates; and they carried 
their protecting care so far as to require the sternest opposition, after long 
submission, to payment by them for even car tickets. ,On applying to pay, 
although we had ordered, the invariable reply was, “ Settled.” The man 
who had settled could never be found, until at last we had to make a point 
of the matter. Every courtesy, the most delicate, was shown us. Every 
effort, the most kindly, was vigilantly made to make us feel that the war 
had made and could make no difference between us. Of course, I had to 
assert myself. The very oddity of my appearance required that. My 
Southern prejudices bristled on all sides like ‘the fretful porcupine’; but 
there was no enemy to attack, and they were allowed to bristle their fierce¬ 
ness away on nothingness.” 

It was thus an exhibition of courtesy and tact which led to the selec¬ 
tion of Wallace Wood, of Eta, as the temporary chairman of the conven¬ 
tion, and chairman of the committee to complete a permanent organization. 
This committee selected as permanent officers, Thomas S. Samson, of Epsi¬ 
lon, as Grand Sigma ; Harry S. Dixon, of Psi, as Grand Chi; George E. 
O’Neal, of Iota, and Michael W. Jacobs, of Theta, as Grand Iotas; and 
ic

SIGMA CHI. 


Edwin B. Hendrie, of Upsilon, as Grand Delta. These official titles were 
soon changed to Grand Consul, Grand Pro-Consul, Grand Tribune, and 
Grand Quaestor. The great task of this convention was reorganization; 
and to a committee of one from each chapter was entrusted the work of 
suggesting the proper legislation. This committee, memorable in the 
annals of the fraternity, consisted of Maxwell Kinkead, of the Iota and 
Upsilon; Frederick M. Joy, of the Gamma ; Andrew B. Duvall, of the Epsi¬ 
lon; Wallace Wood, of the Eta; Jacob J. Weaver, Jr., of the Theta; 
Henry C. Meredith, of the Lambda ; Frank J. Goucher, of the Omicron; 
George E. O’Neal, of the Iota, and Harry S. Dixon, of the Psi; and well 
did they meet the grave responsibilities of their position. They remodeled 
the constitution, made important changes in the ritual, and continued the 
Gamma as the official head of the fraternity. A question that provoked 
much discussion was the policy of electing honorary members. In spite of 
the fact that other fraternities were electing to a nominal honorary member¬ 
ship great numbers of eminent men, and that such a practice might be of 
especial advantage to so young a fraternity as Sigma Chi, the prevailing 
sentiment of the convention was so strongly in favor of restriction, that the 
entire policy narrowly escaped defeat. It was, however, retained by plac¬ 
ing it in the power of any Grand Chapter to add to the roll of membership 
the names of such eminent men as had been nominated by an active chap¬ 
ter, and who should subsequently be formally initiated by that chapter. The 
public literary exercises of this convention were held in Wesley Chapel, on 
the evening of December 27, and consisted of an oration by Rev. Robert 
J. Keeling, D.D., then pastor of Trinity Church in the city of Washington, 
and a poem by Prof. J. Wickliffe Jackson, of Wilmington, Delaware. The 
following is an abridgement of an account of the occasion from one of the 
Washington dailies : “ Though the weather last night was unusually cold, 
quite a large and select audience was attracted to the literary exercises, 
which we advertised in our columns as to take place before the Sigma Chi 
Fraternity at that time. The oration of Dr. Keeling was truly excellent, 
and meeting the most sanguine expectations of the members of the Con¬ 
vention and friends of the Fraternity, will add new lustre to the reputation 
already acquired by this learned and eloquent divine. The subject of the 
oration was ‘ Purpose as an Essential Element of Success.’ * * * The 

poem was also a fine production; and we cannot but compliment Professor 
Jackson on the really poetic spirit therein displayed. The theme which 
inspired his poetic muse was 1 Universal Peace.’ * * * After the con¬ 

clusion of the exercises, the orator and poet were serenaded at the Wash¬ 
ington House, where they are stopping. The delegates then,—some forty 
in number,—repaired to the corner of Fourteenth Street and New York 
Avenue, where they partook of a handsomely prepared collation. It was 
certainly a pleasing sight to see these young men, representing all shades of 


SIGMA CHI. 


xxxv 


opinion, from the North, South, East and West, thus mingle around the 
common festive board ; and we cannot but realize that the more widely 
such associations are extended the greater will be the unanimity of senti¬ 
ment and harmony of feeling among the various systems of our beloved 
land. Here they meet on the common basis of brotherly affection and 
social equality, and, as united by the mystic bonds, they pledge to each 
other to bury sectional animosities in the grave of the past, we see the germ 
of a more glorious union in the future,—a Union not only of States, but a 
union of hearts and of hands.” 

Indeed, the extended notices of the convention given by all of the 
Washington papers, and widely copied throughout the country, bear testi¬ 
mony to the unusual interest aroused by this fraternal gathering of repre¬ 
sentative young men from both sections so recently emerged from interne¬ 
cine strife; and this interest was not lessened by the fact that wearers of the 
blue and of the gray were among the members of the convention. The 
occasion closed with a brilliant reception at the residence of the Rev. Dr. 
Samson, President of Columbian University, the father of the Grand Sigma. 
It was a most important event in the history of Sigma Chi; and much of 
its success was due to the tact and ability of the Epsilon, under whose 
direction the convention had been held. The result of the meeting had 
been awaited with anxious solicitude by the entire fraternity; and when the 
delegates returned with their enthusiastic reports of the pleasures enjoyed, 
and with the proofs of the important business transacted, the old ante-bellum 
confidence was restored, and the chapters set vigorously to work to re-estab¬ 
lish their former harmonious and intimate relations. 

It required many years for Sigma Chi to accomplish what it would 
have achieved in few had it not been for the terrific reverses of its first 
decade. But it had gained much in its misfortunes. The reality of its 
fraternity and the sterling worth of the principles upon which it had been 
founded had been triumphantly tested. The marvelous vitality of its 
organization had been indubitably proved. What had it not demonstrated? 
—the worth of its manhood, the character of its membership, the quality 
of its men, the strength of its friendship, the purity of its motives, the 
practical value of its principles of mutual concession and of mutual aid. 
Its parent chapter had disbanded when the society it had founded was an 
infant of three chapters and of three years. From this blow it had rallied, 
only, when in three years more its three chapters had increased to ten, to 
be caught and whirled into the very midst of the maelstrom of the Civil 
War, and out of which it had triumphantly emerged to reunite its scattered 
chapters and again take up the work upon which it had entered with high 
hopes and lofty ideal eleven years before. Its history had been the record 
of success in the face of obstacles that seemed almost insuperable; and 
in the Spring of 1867 the atmosphere of Sigma Chi was full of confidence 


XXXVI 


SIGMA CHI. 


and enthusiasm ; for in the severe school of experience it had learned how 
to win victory out of defeat. 

With the advent of the Phi, founded on May 17, 1867, through the 
influence of the Kappa, which was still sturdily fighting an adverse faculty, 
eighteen chapters had been established,—four of which were dead, all but 
the Alpha killed by the war. Pennsylvania was the stronghold of the order, 
and for ten years it may fairly be said to have been the center of activity 
and influence, although the official leadership of the Gamma continued 
until the change of government in 1882. Of these fourteen chapters with 
which the fraternity started its post bellum career, six were located in Penn¬ 
sylvania—Iota, Omicron, Theta, Kappa, Upsilon and Phi;—and if to these 
we add the Epsilon, whose strongest affiliations were always with its Penn¬ 
sylvania sisters, the center of the fraternity membership is not far to seek. 
The remaining half of the fourteen chapters were scattered over four states,— 
three in Indiana, two in Virginia and one each in Mississippi and Ohio. 
This preponderance of numerical strength it required ten years to counter¬ 
balance by development in other directions ; for while the chapter roll had 
been exactly doubled in 1878, Pennsylvania still contained as many chap¬ 
ters as any other state. In 1877 Pennsylvania still equaled Indiana and 
Virginia with five active chapters each, and the Iota, the Upsilon and the 
Nu had already disbanded. This proximity of so many chapters in a 
single state led naturally to constant intercommunication, enthusiasm and 
activity, and exerted a marked influence upon the history of the fraternity. 
The numerical strength of these chapters, however, was never consciously 
exerted for selfish purposes or personal ends. If one thing has been con¬ 
spicuous in the history of Sigma Chi it has been the absence of every form 
and phase of sectional interest and feeling; but propinquity and numbers 
are not without influence, and the records of the fraternity from 1867 to 
1878 contain many evidences of the activity of its chapters in the Keystone 
State. 

It should also be said that during all of these years, and, indeed, until 
1882, the.general system of government adopted at the Grand Chapter of 
1859, although much amended in detail, remained the organic law of the 
fraternity ; and the Gamma as the Parent Chapter continued as the execu¬ 
tive head of the order, and was indefatigable in its administration of affairs, 
rendering invaluable services in the midst of frequently adverse circum¬ 
stances. It absorbed the local chapter of Alpha Digamma in 1868, and 
through its influence the Mu was established at Denison University in 
Ohio in the same year. Although the transfer of the seat of government 
to Pennsylvania seems to have been widely discussed during this year, the 
Seventh Grand Chapter unanimously and enthusiastically re-elected the 
Gamma to the honorable and arduous position of leadership, which it had 
filled with such marked ability and energy during the previous decade. 


SIGMA CHI.

This convention met in the Odd Fellows Hall at Louisville, Kentucky, on 
December 31, 1868, and January 1, 1869. In addition to the general 
attendance, which was not large, nine chapters were regularly represented 
by delegate. Samuel C. Preston, of Xi, was chosen Grand Consul; George 
B. Peters, of Zeta, Grand Pro Consul; Howard Cale, of Rho, Grand Anno¬ 
tator, and Walter A. Foland, of Lambda, Grand Quaestor. The other 
delegates were DeWitt C. Jones, of Gamma; Robert G. Howell, of Mu; 
Robert P. Snowden, of Upsilon; D. Kemper Watson, of Omicron, and 
Lawrence M. Colfelt, of Iota. The convention devoted itself assiduously 
to the transaction of business and accomplished a great deal of detailed 
work. The work of post-bellum reorganization had emphasized the urgent 
necessity of the early publication of the catalogue of the fraternity’s mem¬ 
bership, which had been authorized by the convention of 1861 ; and its 
compilation was again entrusted to the Gamma. The question of honorary 
membership also again came up for discussion; and the friends of a more 
liberal policy succeeded in amending the constitution so as to empower 
each chapter to elect and initiate honorary members without first obtain¬ 
ing the concurrence of the Grand Chapter. Although this power was 
subsequently rescinded and honorary membership entirely abolished, it 
added to the fraternity a number of men of high character and scholarly 
attainment whose interest in the order has been far more than that of foster 
sons. The restrictions which were placed around this class of membership 
for many years and the conservatism which subsequently prevailed accounts 
for the comparatively small number of the honorary members of Sigma Chi. 

A strong effort was made by the Gamma to induce the fraternity to 
hold its next convention at Delaware, Ohio ; but the choice fell upon Phila¬ 
delphia, where the Upsilon had invited the chapters to become its guests. 
Here, on December 28, 1870, the Eighth Grand Chapter convened in 
Upsilon’s chapter hall, the only occasion on which Sigma Chi has met in 
the rooms of one of its chapters (except, perhaps, in 1859). Over thirty 
members were in attendance, among them the delegates from Omicron and 
Upsilon to the preceding convention ; but, for some reason not now known, 
only a bare majority of the chapters were represented. Gamma was on 
hand, of course, and with her came Mu, completing the Ohio delegation. 
Sigma Chi had planted her first chapter in the Northwest on June 23, 1869; 
and the Omega had manifested the activity for which she has since become 
distinguished by sending a delegate to this convention. The Indiana and 
Southern chapters were all in a flourishing condition ; but for some inexpli¬ 
cable reason not one of them was represented. Pennsylvania, however, was 
equal to the occasion, and her chapters sent large and enthusiastic delega¬ 
tions. The unfortunate dissensions between Washington and Jefferson Col¬ 
leges had resulted in the dissolution of the Iota, thereby depriving the fra¬ 
ternity of one of its historic leaders. The Epsilon, also, was so greatly 


XXXV111 


SIGMA CHI. 


reduced in membership that it generously suggested by letter the advisability 
of surrendering its charter; but, instead of accepting the suggestion, the 
Grand Chapter appointed a committee to take vigorous measures to assist 
the chapter. 

Robert E. James, of Phi, was selected as Grand Consul, with Legh R. 
Myers, of Theta, as Grand Pro Consul ; William H. Slifer, of Kappa, as 
Grand Annotator ; Charles P. Matlack, of Upsilon, as Grand Tribune ; and 
Joseph H. Sample, of Mu, as Grand Quaestor. “Blue and Gold” were here 
first adopted as the fraternity colors ; and the first action was taken toward 
the publication of a Sigma Chi Song Book, by a resolution calling on each 
chapter to send to the Phi copies of such songs as were in use by its mem¬ 
bers, and also to suppty as many new songs as possible. That songs are the 
result of growth and not of manufacture was conclusively proved by the 
small returns of this early enterprise. The effort, however, was not aban¬ 
doned ; and, after many discouragements, success was finally achieved by 
the Beta in 1884. The catalogue, which had been ordered at the previous 
convention, had been compiled by the Gamma and was already in type ; 
but its publication had necessitated the first per capita assessment of any 
considerable size ever levied by the authority of the Parent Chapter, and 
the adjustment of the financial features of this enterprise required much of 
the time of the convention. All difficulties, however, were successfully 
solved, and satisfactory provision was made for the completion of the work. 
The compilation of this catalogue was but one of the many evidences of the 
vigorous and effective manner in which the affairs of the fraternity had been 
administered by the Gamma; and its labors in behalf of Sigma Chi were 
formally recognized by a resolution continuing it as the Parent Chapter 
with the official title of “the Alpha.” This title had been assumed by the 
chapter a few years after the death of the Miami chapter, but it had never 
been formally recognized until now, when a constitutional provision was 
adopted making it an appendage of the official position of the executive 
leadership of the fraternity. From this time until 1884, the Delaware chap¬ 
ter was retained as the “ Parent Chapter ” of the fraternity government, and 
as such it became known as “the Alpha” to the exclusion of its more 
appropriate title, which, however, it has resumed since its reorganization in 
1888. A number of other changes were made in the constitution, and the 
ritual was thoroughly revised. All matters in connection with the ordering 
of fraternity jewelry had originally been under the care of the Alpha, and 
had therefore passed under the jurisdiction of the Gamma; but it was now 
provided that the management of these matters should be given to the 
Upsilon ; and until 1888, when they were voluntarily transferred by the 
Kappa to the care of the Grand Tribune, one or other of the Pennsylvania 
chapters continued to occupy the position of official jewelry agent to the 
fraternity. Not only did the Kappa furnish over one third of the attendance 


SIGMA CHI.

at this convention, but in the absence of Hon. Don Piatt, the convention 
orator, the Lewisburg chapter supplied a most successful substitute in the 
person of Mr. Alfred Taylor, who delivered an excellent address; and 
Upsilon crowned her achievements as the host with a grand banquet at the 
Continental Hotel. 

During this year (1870) the faculty at Ohio Wesleyan University had 
passed stringent anti-fraternity legislation, and during the two succeeding 
years the Gamma was exceedingly crippled in consequence. The adminis¬ 
tration of the fraternity’s affairs was necessarily affected ; but the executive 
duties of the chapter were bravely performed under the adverse circum¬ 
stances. The first Catalogue of the fraternity—to which reference has 
already been made—was successfully published early in 1872. It was a 
neat 64-page folio, bound in heavy paper covers, blue, with the two words 
“ Sigma Chi ” printed in gold across the face. It contained no historical 
material; but gave the titles of the chapters with the name and location of 
the respective institutions in which they were established and the date upon 
which each was chartered. The names of the founders of the fraternity 
and of the charter members of each chapter was also given, followed by 
the roll of membership of that chapter, arranged apparently according to 
the order of initiation. A few brief biographical notes were scattered 
through these membership rolls, and there was an alphabetical index of the 
names. 

Prior to the war Sigma Chi had been exceedingly active in the South ; 
and the character and loyalty of its Southern chapters had been eminently 
gratifying to the fraternity. They had made much of its most cherished 
history, and had bequeathed to it many of its most inspiring traditions. It 
was, therefore, with great impatience that the revival of activity among the 
Southern colleges was awaited. But educational interests in the South had 
been far more seriously crippled than the South itself realized, or the frater¬ 
nity was willing to believe. The old institutions, with few exceptions, 
resumed activity ; but with revenues reduced and property destroyed, and a 
future complicated by the rivalry of a large number of new colleges, whose 
advent intensified the struggle for existence, so doubtful was the outcome 
that much against its wishes Sigma Chi was forced to await some indica¬ 
tion of the survival of the fittest. The brilliant prospects of Washington 
and Lee University, and the adoration with which the South justly regarded 
the grand, great-hearted man who became its President in 1865, removed 
all doubt of its fitness as a home for Sigma Chi. Psi and Eta had been 
revived at once ; but here the conservative judgment of the fraternity had 
checked its cavaliers upon the borders of a land they were eager to possess, 
and which promised them so warm a welcome. In 1871, however, the Chi 
was chartered at Hanover College, in the Ohio Valley, the natural bound¬ 
ary between the North and South; and in 1872 the desire for Southern 


xl

extension would be restrained no longer. Five chapters were established 
in Southern institutions in that year, a record in extension equalled only in 
1882, exactly ten years later. These chapters were the Sigma Sigma and 
the Tau in Virginia, the Pi in Alabama, the Delta in Georgia, and the Nu in 
Tennessee. It will be observed that the chapter nomenclature was thus 
needlessly complicated, not only by the irregular title given the Hampden- 
Sidney chapter (the Sigma Sigma), but also by baptizing two of these latest 
children by the names of the defunct chapters at Erskine and Washington 
Colleges (the Pi and the Nu). 

However, irregularities of this kind were of very minor consideration 
in 1872 ; and it was an enthusiastic convention which met as the Ninth 
Grand Chapter, at the Neill House, in Columbus, Ohio, on December 26 
and 27 of that year. There was a large attendance of visiting members, 
and thirteen chapters were represented by delegates. They were Gamma, 
Epsilon, Zeta, Eta, Theta, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Xi, Omicron, Rho, Tau 
and Phi. Of the eight active chapters not represented, four had been 
established during the year. Local causes had disorganized the Omega; 
and faculty opposition had greatly reduced the membership of the Upsilon. 
The Psi was not present by delegate ; but its influence in the convention 
was as strongly felt through the important part played by Harry S. Dixon 
in its work. The publication of the new catalogue had aroused a great 
deal of alumnal interest; and a large number of the older members of the 
fraternity were present at this convention, among them Charles M. Dawson 
and Howard Cale, the former having been a representative from Theta at 
the Convention of 1866, and the latter having represented the Rho at Louis¬ 
ville in 1869. Moses G. McLain, of the Xi, was chosen Grand Consul ; 
and George C. Coon, of the Mu, Grand Pro-Consul; A. Kirtland Michler, 
of the Phi, Grand Annotator ; Howard Cale, of the Rho, Grand Tribune, 
and Marion L. Dye, of the Eta, Grand Quaestor. When the Grand Chap¬ 
ter adjourned it had made some important changes in both the constitution 
and the ritual,—in the former making provision for the establishment of 
alumni chapters, and in the latter creating three degrees of membership. 
This last innovation was found too cumbersome for a college fraternity, and 
was subsequently discarded. The Catalogue that had just been issued had 
simply whetted the ambition of the fraternity ; and it was decided to publish 
a new and much more elaborate edition as early as possible, the matter 
being consigned to the charge of the Phi under certain general regulations. 
The publication of an extended fraternity history was also authorized ; and 
Harry S. Dixon was elected Grand Historian. It was a progressive and 
successful convention; and great credit was due to the Gamma and the 
Mu, who, as the hosts of the occasion, had accomplished so much in the 
face of the faculty hostility with which both were contending. The large 
attendance from Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, demonstrated the pros- 


SIGMA CHI. 


xli 


perous condition of the fraternity in these States ; and, as the Southern 
chapters had been so increased in number, it was determined to hold the 
next Grand Chapter at Richmond, Virginia ; and Hon. John B. Storm, of 
Omicron, was chosen as orator, and Dr. Charles H. Shivers, of Kappa, as 
poet. 

The result of this convention was to infuse new energy into the frater¬ 
nity ; and the vigorous correspondence of Dixon and the Phi, in connec¬ 
tion with the proposed catalogue and history, attracted unusual interest to 
all internal affairs. In 1873 the Beta was chartered at the University of 
Wooster, in Ohio, and the Beta Beta at Mississippi College, although the 
latter lived only a year, when it was killed by anti-fraternity legislation. In 
1874 the Gamma Gamma and the Epsilon Epsilon were established, the latter 
at Monmouth College, in Illinois, and the former at Randolph-Macon Col¬ 
lege, in Virginia. During this year, also, petitions were received for the 
establishment of a chapter at Wabash College, and for the re-establishment 
of the Iota and Nu at Washington and Jefferson College; but for various 
reasons they did not commend themselves to the fraternity. These and the 
numerous other petitions from institutions with which Sigma Chi has never 
been connected (a class of petitions to which it has been decided to omit 
all reference in this historical sketch), served, nevertheless, to arouse enthu¬ 
siasm inside of the fraternity, and sustained the interest of all the chapters 
in the general work of the organization. The evidences of this internal 
activity were most marked among the Pennsylvania chapters, who held a 
very successful State Convention with the Omicron, on May 22, 1874. 
During this year the local chapter of the Upsilon Beta Fraternity was 
absorbed by the Theta. 

Sigma Chi was in a prosperous condition when the Tenth Grand Chap¬ 
ter met in the Exchange Hotel at Richmond, on October 21, 1874, under 
the hospitable care of the Sigma Sigma, aided by the other Virginia chap¬ 
ters. Isaac V. Scott, of Sigma Sigma, was elected Grand Consul, and the 
following chapters were represented by delegates : Gamma, Zeta, Kappa, 
Lambda, Xi, Omicron, Rho, Tau, Phi, Psi, Omega, Gamma Gamma and 
Sigma Sigma. Among these delegates were a number of those who were 
then, and have since been prominent in the work of the fraternity,—Robert 
E. James, of Phi, and Louis Newberger, of Rho, who had represented their 
chapters in previous conventions,—the former at the Eighth, and the latter 
at the Ninth Grand Chapter,—William E. Hackedorn, of Gamma, Freeman 
G. Teed, of Kappa, and John S. McMillin, of Xi. The attention of the 
convention was mainly devoted to the work of internal development; and at 
this time the fraternity was first divided into districts, according to states, 
over each district being placed one chapter, called the State Parent, which, 
in a very general way, was given a supervisory jurisdiction over the chapters 
in its state. The reports before the Grand Chapter disclosed the marked 


xlii 


SIGMA CHI. 


prosperity of Sigma Chi at this time. The only chapters not in a flourishing 
condition seem to have been the Epsilon and the Mu, the latter suffering 
under the ban of anti-fraternity legislation, and the former being so reduced 
in membership that a committee was appointed to wind up its affairs and 
return its charter to the Gamma, although it was subsequently decided not 
to take this step, and the Epsilon did not cease to exist until after the con¬ 
vention of 1880. The Tenth Grand Chapter was the first to extend its 
sessions over more than two days ; but so successful was this departure that 
a three days’ session has since become the established custom. On the 
evening of the third day the Virginia chapters tendered to the visiting 
brothers and their ladies a grand complimentary banquet at the Exchange 
Hotel, the memory of which has not yet perished. Mr. H. S. Dixon had 
been reappointed Grand Historian ; and the Phi was continued in charge 
of the compilation of the official Catalogue, with power to levy upon the 
active chapters the assessment necessary for its immediate publication. 
The Phi at this time held the official jewelry agency for the fraternity, and 
was deservedly one of the most prominent and influential chapters in the 
Order. 

Devoted to internal matters, successful and contented, little of histori¬ 
cal interest occurred in the fraternity during 1875. The anti-fraternity laws 
of the University of Georgia killed the Delta during this year, but not until 
its place had been filled by the Delta Delta at Purdue University, at Lafay¬ 
ette, Indiana, founded March 1, 1875. On June 17, the second Sigma was 
established at Princeton College, New Jersey ; and on September 27, the 
Phi Phi was chartered at the University of Pennsylvania. The birth of this 
last chapter was the death of the Upsilon, which had been declining with 
the decline of the institution at which it was founded. But the two Phila¬ 
delphia chapters joined in the successful entertainment of the Eleventh 
Grand Chapter in the City of Brotherly Love, on October 11, 1876. The 
Convention met in the Amateur Drawing Rooms, and twenty-one of the 
twenty-four active chapters were represented by delegates. The only chap¬ 
ters unrepresented were the Eta, the'Pi and the Nu. Just why the Eta was 
unable to send a delegate it is now impossible to tell; but the Pi was pre¬ 
vented by rigid anti-fraternity laws, and the Nu was reduced to a single 
member. The Epsilon had grown strong enough to demonstrate its ability to 
continue its heroic struggle against an adverse fate, and was granted recog¬ 
nition in spite of the resolution of the preceding convention ; and the Sigma 
sent a delegate to ask assistance in her contest with the Princeton authori¬ 
ties. This was given by granting to the Phi the power to initiate students 
of the College of New Jersey (Princeton), the charter of the Sigma being 
ordered held in abeyance by the Gamma until formally requested by the 
Princeton members. By thus temporarily suspending the organic existence 
of the Sigma as a chapter of the Sigma Chi, and by initiating the Prince- 


SIGMA CHI. 


xliii 


ton men at Lafayette College during the various vacations, the anti-fraternity 
rules were successfully evaded. The officers of the Grand Chapter were 
Ogden Armstrong, of Phi Phi, Grand Consul ; Frank S. Marr, of Kappa, 
Grand Pro-Consul; Charles Richardson, of Lambda, Grand Annotator; 
Duncan L. Busby, of Phi Phi, Grand Quaestor; Francis A. Scratchley, of 
Zeta, Grand Tribune, and John C. Vanatta, of Delta Delta, Grand Custos. 
Among the large attendance of visiting members at this convention were 
seen a number of those who had been active in previous Grand Chapters, 
and who bore a prominent part in the work accomplished at this,—John S. 
McMillin, of Xi; Frank S. Marr and Freeman G. Teed, of Kappa ; George 
Ogden, Jr., of Upsilon ; William B. Barham, of Gamma Gamma; William 
L. Ould, of Psi, and William E. Cave, of Sigma Sigma. As at the Eighth 
Grand Chapter, the Kappa had the largest representation at this conven¬ 
tion. The legislation adopted was mainly amendatory of that passed at 
Richmond, and the temper of the convention appears to have been very 
conservative. An innovation in the fraternity grip, which had been adopted 
in 1874, was now reconsidered, and the old form restored to use. 

The convention suffered a great loss in the death of Charles Robbins, 
Omicron’s gifted son, who was to have been the poet of the occasion. In 
the absence of the regular orator, Mr. Frank H. Magee, of Phi Phi, delivered 
an excellent oration; and a very successful banquet was held at Petrie’s. 
The most interesting business of this occasion, however, was the announce¬ 
ment by the Phi that the new Catalogue had been successfully published 
and would be ready for delivery as soon as the necessary financial arrange¬ 
ments could be made. The very exhaustive and creditable report of the 
Publication Committee was thoroughly discussed, and the Phi was enthu¬ 
siastically voted the thanks of the fraternity. They were well deserved. 
An assessment to meet the expense of publication was levied upon the 
active chapters; but the tax was quite heavily felt by some of the chapters, 
and it was found necessary to make an additional assessment on those better 
able to sustain it. This was done, and after the inevitable delay the noted 
Catalogue of 1876 made its appearance over a year later than its date of 
issue. It was a beautifully printed book of over one hundred pages, bound 
in heavy bevelled covers, with blue cloth, on which was stamped in gold 
the two words which had adorned the cover of the first edition, 11 Sigma 
Chi.” It was tastefully embellished with an appropriate frontispiece and a 
symbolical design before each chapter. It was before the day of historical 
and biographical catalogues, and the book was justly regarded as a great 
achievement at that time. No fraternity had published anything that sur¬ 
passed it, if, indeed, it had been equalled; and Sigma Chi regarded her 
elegant catalogue with pardonable pride. So far as utility was concerned, 
little, if any, advance had been made over the previous edition; but its 
publication undoubtedly added to the reputation of the fraternity and 
created enthusiasm among its members, both active and alumni.

SIGMA CHI. 


Within a few days of the adjournment of the Grand Chapter in 1876, 
the Iota Iota was established at the University of Alabama. On December 
12 of the same year the Zeta Zeta was founded at Centre College in Ken¬ 
tucky ; and the Theta Theta was chartered at the University of Michigan at 
Ann Arbor exactly one year later. The Pennsylvania chapters apparently 
•continued to be the most united and active branches of the fraternity, and 
in the Spring of 1877 (May 24) they again met in convention at Gettysburg, 
under the hospitality of the Theta. But the inauguration of the State and 
Inter-State Oratorical Associations throughout the West brought the Indiana 
chapters into more intimate relations, and led to a united activity, which 
had great influence upon the future of Sigma Chi. Each Spring these con¬ 
tests in oratory brought together large and constantly increasing numbers 
of the wearers of the White Cross from the five flourishing chapters already 
organized in the State, among them being two of the oldest branches of 
the fraternity. The repeated successes of Sigma Chi in the contests of 
oratory, and also in those for the political honors of the associations, led to 
great enthusiasm among its members, and produced an esprit de corps that 
was not without its influence upon the work of the fraternity itself. The 
value of concerted and harmonious action in the smallest details of cam¬ 
paigns for offices and honors that rivaled the excitement of political elec¬ 
tions was early perceived by all the fraternities in the State, and was 
promptly acted upon by Sigma Chi by an organization which was none the 
less compact and effective because it was thoroughly informal. This 
organization was rendered much more feasible after the convention held 
on November 19, 20 and 21, 1878, at Indianapolis, Ind., at which the 
Indiana chapters first became thoroughly and widely acquainted. The 
new Catalogue had given to the fraternity a better knowledge of its mem¬ 
bership than it had ever had before, and the natural result was a large 
alumni attendance at the convention. 

The first graduate association of the fraternity had been formed at 
Springfield, Ohio, during the Winter of 1874-5, and had been chartered 
under the title of the Alpha Alumni Chapter. It was represented by delegate 
for the first time at this Twelfth Grand Chapter. The following active 
chapters were also represented : Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Zeta, Theta, 
Lambda, Xi, Pi, Rho, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega, Delta Delta, Gamma Gamma 
and Theta Theta. Kappa, Mu and Sigma were still suffering under anti¬ 
fraternity regulations ; Epsilon Epsilon and Iota Iota had been killed by 
the same cause; the Phi Phi was not active, and the Nu had been reduced 
to a single member by the decline of Cumberland University,— leaving 
only four chapters whose absence is to be accounted for. The officers of 
the convention, which met in the Knights of Pythias Hall, were John A. 
Henry, of Gamma, Grand Consul; Joseph E. Bimm, of Phi, Grand Pro- 
Consul; Louis Newberger, of Rho, Grand Annotator; Albert S. Kemp, of

Theta, Grand Tribune; John R. Tyson, of Zeta, Grand Quaestor, and Lew 
Wallace, of Rho, Grand Custos. A remarkably large number of alumni 
members who had been prominent in the fraternity and had participated in 
previous conventions, were present and took an active part in the pro¬ 
ceedings. The fraternity was reported to be in a most gratifying and 
prosperous condition, and great enthusiasm was manifested. The great 
subject of discussion was the publication of an official magazine. As early 
as 1865 Sigma Chi had debated this proposition, but it had then been 
abandoned as impracticable. In the meantime other fraternities had 
undertaken the experiment, which had proved in a measure successful. All 
of these publications, however, were strictly secret and contained many 
matters relating to the internal and private affairs of their respective fra¬ 
ternities. Their usefulness was thus greatly impaired, and, as they were 
constantly falling into the hands of rival fraternities, they were frequently 
a source of injury and annoyance. To such an official organ serious objec¬ 
tion was urged by many influential members of Sigma Chi, while those who 
advocated a secret magazine insisted upon the impracticability of an open 
publication. The result was the postponement of action until the succeed¬ 
ing Grand Chapter. The project of publishing the fraternity history had 
apparently been abandoned by common consent; but the Song Book again 
came up for discussion, and its publication was consigned to the Xi. Some 
changes were made in the method of ordering fraternity jewelry; and the 
Kappa was continued as the official agent, having been chosen to this 
position in 1876. Hon. Webster Dixon, of the Lambda, was the orator of 
the convention, which closed with a successful banquet and ball at the 
Grand Hotel. 

During the next two years comparatively little of historic interest 
occurred. The Chi Chi was established in Southern University at Greens¬ 
boro, Alabama, during the Winter of 1879,—the last chapter chartered in 
the South until 1884. The influence of the preceding convention made 
itself felt, and Indiana became the seat of the most active and aggressive 
events in the fraternity. The plan of holding informal State Conventions 
at Indianapolis, in connection with the annual contests in oratory, solidified 
and enthused the Indiana members, and led to concerted action in many 
matters of fraternity interest. The petition from Wabash College was first 
brought before one of these conventions in 1880, and its indorsement by 
that body, after thorough investigation, led to the establishment of the Delta 
Chi. These years were also memorable on account of the inauguration of 
the celebrated contest with the authorities of Purdue University, which is 
more fully treated in the history of the Delta Delta. It will be unnecessary 
to repeat what is there said about this famous struggle, in which the ability 
and influence of Sigma Chi was so emphatically demonstrated, and in which 
the legal status of the American college fraternity was first authoritatively 


xlvi

settled. Its successful issue was due in great measure to the energetic and 
concerted action of the Indiana members, whose combined and determined 
influence proved irresistible. Faculty hostility and anti-fraternity legisla¬ 
tion have played an important part in the history of Sigma Chi. Eight of 
her chapters have been killed by this cause alone; and at a large number 
•of other institutions she has waged successful warfare on the hostile 
authorities. It is worthy of remark, however, that but one chapter of Sigma 
Chi has ever been founded at an institution where anti-fraternity rules 
were in existence at the date of its establishment. This one chapter was 
the Sigma ; and it was founded at Princeton under the erroneous impression, 
born of a lax enforcement of the rules, that the hostile restrictions were 
about to be abandoned. Two or three chapters were undoubtedly estab¬ 
lished at colleges where the faculties were known to be unfavorable to the 
Greek-letter societies; but at one time this was the prevalent attitude of 
college authorities toward all fraternities, and their favor was not expected. 
In the historic struggles at Gamma, Kappa, Upsilon, Mu, Pi, Epsilon Epsi¬ 
lon, Delta Delta, and Kappa Kappa, the fraternity did not provoke the con¬ 
flict, but fought only in honorable self-defense, and to maintain the ground 
it had originally occupied without the violation of existing college laws. At 
Delta, Beta Beta, Iota Iota and Alpha Mu, the restrictions were enacted 
after the chapters had been established ; and they quietly discontinued 
because opposition was not then considered advisable. To this uniform 
record and settled policy, the Princeton chapter is only an apparent excep¬ 
tion. Its origin was due to a misapprehension, and its continuance was due 
only to the spirit of self-defense and the natural antagonism aroused by the 
severity of the faculty. 

In the Fall of 1880, a charter was granted to an organization effected 
by G. Heileman Wilson, of the Sigma Sigma, at Richmond College, Rich¬ 
mond, Va., and it was called the Alpha Beta. It initiated several men; 
but in a very few weeks it was deemed inexpedient to continue its existence. 
The charter was at once returned, and the organization has not been recog¬ 
nized as a chapter of the fraternity,—James R. Branch was the only initiate 
who was not subsequently connected with some other of the Virginia chap¬ 
ters ; and his name has been arbitrarily placed among the members of the 
•Sigma Sigma in this Catalogue. 

On the sixteenth of November, 1880, the Thirteenth Grand Chapter 
met at the National Hotel, Washington, D. C.,the following chapters being 
represented: Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Zeta, Theta, Lambda,, Xi, Omicron, 
Rho, Tau, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega, Delta Delta, Gamma Gamma, Theta Theta, 
Delta Chi and Alpha Alumni. The officers were—Albert S. Kemp, of Theta, 
Grand Consul; George N. Acker, of Theta, Grand Pro-Consul; J. Frank 
George, of Xi, Grand Annotator ; Barnabas Burns, of Gamma, Grand Tri¬ 
bune ; Raymond V. De Groff, of Omega, Grand Quaestor, and John W.

Thomas, of Omicron, Grand Custos. The most important work of this 
convention was the establishment of an official bi-monthly magazine, to be 
known as The Sigma Chi, and to be published by the fraternity under the 
editorial charge of Theta. It was one of the restrictions placed upon its edi¬ 
tors, that nothing relating in any manner to the internal and private affairs 
of the fraternity should be permitted to appear in its pages. The previous 
Grand Chapter had authorized the Gamma Gamma and the Zeta to issue 
an annual supplement to the Catalogue of 1876 ; but this work was now 
turned over to the editors of the magazine, by whom it was successfully 
issued. The Song-Book was again placed in the care of the Xi; and the 
delegates pledged their respective chapters to furnish their several quotas 
of songs. Socially the occasion was a pronounced success. The delegates 
and visitors were well entertained by the resident alumni of Washington ; 
and a banquet was tendered by the Washington members and the Virginia 
chapters. Hon. Linden Kent, of the Psi, delivered an admirable oration. 

The establishment of the official magazine was one of the most impor¬ 
tant events in the history of the fraternity, and its influence was immedi¬ 
ately felt. Its pages furnished the medium for the advocacy of important 
measures and for the expression of individual opinion. Indeed, it is almost 
impossible to over-estimate its value. The activity that followed its appear¬ 
ance was phenomenal; and its success was at once assured, although its 
financial history does not differ materially from that of most fraternity 
enterprises. It received a sufficient support, however, to ensure its contin¬ 
uance and to enable its editors to publish a neat and attractive magazine. 
To it is to be attributed a large share of the remarkable advance made by 
Sigma Chi during its last decade, most of which could not have been accom¬ 
plished except through its advocacy and the opportunity for agitation and 
discussion which its pages afforded. Shortly after its appearance most of 
the publications of rival fraternities abandoned their sub rosa character; and 
fraternity journalism first assumed the importance it has since retained. 
Among these publications the organ of Sigma Chi has been accorded con¬ 
spicuous rank, and has achieved much not only for the internal development 
of the fraternity, but also for its external reputation. From 1880 to 1883 
the magazine was published by Theta Chapter, under the editorial charge of 
Charles R. Trowbridge,—except three issues during 1882, which were con¬ 
ducted by William L. McPherson, as Editor-in-Chief. During these years 
the business management- of the publication was in the hands of William 
L. McPherson and Calvin R. Unger./ To these men is due the successful 
inauguration of the enterprise, upon which the fraternity had entered not 
without serious misgiving; and to them is due the excellent reputation 
gained by The Sigma Chi at the very outset of its career. In the Spring 
of 1883 the Theta was compelled to resign the trust it had so ably fulfilled ; 
and the editorial and business management of the magazine was placed in 


xlviii 


SIGMA CHI. 


the hands of Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi, by whom it was successfully 
published for five successive years, the first at Hanover, Indiana, and the 
last four at Chicago. During the past two years it has been ably conducted 
at Chicago by Charles Ailing, Jr., of Chi and Theta Theta, the present 
Grand Tribune of the fraternity. 

This last decade of 1880 to 1890 has been crowded with most impor¬ 
tant and successful achievements, but most of them are so familiar to the 
fraternity at large that nothing but the outlines need be given here. In, 
extension the record has been phenomenal in the history of Sigma Chi. 
The Kappa Kappa, at Illinois University, was the only chapter founded in 
1881; but in 1882 the highest record of the fraternity was equalled by the 
chartering of five chapters; and 1883 and 1884 pressed closely after witffi 
four chapters each. In 1885 no additions were made ; but in the succeed¬ 
ing year three charters were issued. One chapter was established in 1887 
and one in 1888, while two in 1889 completed the chapter roll of Sigma 
Chi, upon which fifty-nine names have been inscribed since 1855. 

The conventions of this decade have been memorable events in the 
history of the Order. In 1882 the most successful, and in many respects 
the most important of the later conventions of Sigma Chi, met as the Four¬ 
teenth Grand Chapter, in the rooms of the Appellate Court, at the Grand 
Pacific Hotel, in Chicago. Omega Chapter and the resident Alumni of 
Chicago excelled themselves by the elaborate and expensive entertainment 
provided ; and the business transacted was of the utmost importance. 
Governor John M. Hamilton, of the Gamma, delivered the oration, and 
Judge Loriij C. Collins, Jr., of the Omega, presided at the banquet. Twenty- 
seven chapters were represented, and there was a large attendance of visit¬ 
ing members both active and graduate. Indeed, it was a period of aggress¬ 
ive activity among the alumni of the fraternity. The Theta Alumni and 
Eta Alumni Chapters had been chartered in 1881, the former at Cincinnati, 
Ohio, and the latter at Lafayette, Indiana. Both were represented at this 
convention, as was also the Alpha Alumni. During the sessions of the 
Grand Chapter the Indianapolis alumni presented a petition and received 
a charter as the Iota Alumni. The Omega Alumni Chapter, at Chicago, was 
also first organized at this convention. The active chapters that were rep¬ 
resented were the following : Gamma, Beta, Theta, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Xi„ 
Omicron, Rho,Tau, Phi, Chi, Psi, Omega, Gamma Gamma, Delta Delta,Delta 
Chi, Zeta Zeta, Zeta Psi, Theta Theta, Kappa Kappa, Alpha Gamma, and 
Alpha Eta. The petitioners from Beloit College, who had been favorably 
acted upon by the fraternity, were also represented by two of their number. 
The officers chosen were—Hon. Isaac M. Jordan, of the Alpha, Grand Con¬ 
sul ; Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi, Grand Pro-Consul; Hamilton Douglas, 
of the Beta, Grand Annotator ; James Cannon, Jr., of the Gamma Gamma, 
Grand Tribune ; George P. Merrick, of the Omega, Grand Quaestor; and.

James A. Miller, of the Alpha Eta, Grand Custos. Urgent professional 
matters unexpectedly interfered with the attendance of the Grand Consul, 
and the Convention was presided over by the Grand Pro-Consul. 

The great achievement of the Fourteenth Grand Chapter was the 
radical revision of the constitution, and the adoption of the transitional' 
government that paved the way for the progressive measures of 1884. It 
should not be understood that the great body of the convention of 1882 
regarded the important changes they adopted as in any sense transitional, 
but as a genuine and serious effort to secure a permanent improvement in 
the system of government. The committee to which this most important 
work was assigned consisted of Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi; Hamilton 
Douglas, of the Beta ; Howard Ferris, of the Mu; Jason W. Firestone, of 
the Gamma; Edgar C. Newlin, of the Zeta Zeta; and Colfax E. Earl, of 
the Xi. Hon. Isaac M. Jordan, of the Alpha, had originally been appointed 
chairman of this committee, as well as of the convention ; and Hon. John S. 
McMillin, of the Xi, whose long and active connection with the fraternity 
admirably fitted him for the task, had draughted a complete revision of the 
old constitution, which was presented before this committee by Colfax E. 
Earl, as his representative ; and upon this revision, as a basis, the new sys¬ 
tem of government was constructed. The prominent feature of the system 
which was adopted, was the substitution of individual government for chap¬ 
ter government, in the curtailment of the powers of the Parent Chapter, and 
the creation of an executive council. The officers of the Grand Chapter, six 
in number, were continued in office for two years, or until their successors 
should be chosen ; and they were constituted the Grand Council of the 
fraternity, with large executive powers during the intervals between the 
biennial sessions of the Grand Chapter. Government by an undergraduate 
chapter was almost wholly abandoned, although the position of Parent 
Chapter was retained as an aid and auxiliary of the Grand Council. To 
the Parent Chapter was intrusted the collection of the fraternity dues and 
the custody of the great seal of the order, with power to issue charters to 
such chapters as had been established by authority of the Grand Council! 
after correspondence with the active chapters. 

It was provided by the Constitution that the correspondence of the 
Grand Council should be facilitated and its powers be further centralized 
by electing the Grand Consul and the Grand Tribune “ from the same city 
or locality; ” but the opponents of centralization and the advocates of a 
liberal construction combined to defeat this provision in the election of 
officers; and Hon. John S. McMillin, Xi, ’76, of Lafayette, Indiana, was 
chosen Grand Consul, with Joseph E. Andrews, Mu, ’82, of Cincinnati, 
Ohio, as Grand Tribune. The other members of this first Grand Council 
were ,—Carl C. Law, Kappa, ’85, of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Grand Pro- 
Consul ; George P. Merrick, Omega, ’84, of Evanston, Illinois, Grand Quaes-

tor; James Cannon, Jr., Gamma Gamma, ’84, of Ashland, Virginia, Grand 
Annotator, and James A. Miller, Alpha Eta, ’83, of Iowa City, Iowa, Grand 
Custos. Mr. Frank B. Smith, Alpha Eta, ’84, of Iowa City, Iowa, was sub¬ 
sequently chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Grand 
Custos Miller. The Song-Book was placed in the hands of the Beta; and 
under the editorial care of Professor Karl Merz, of that chapter, it was 
successfully issued in 1887. The convention finally abolished honorary 
membership. 

During the next two years the new system of government was thoroughly 
tested, and its elements of strength and weakness were discovered. Its 
immense superiority over the former constitution was speedily demonstrated ; 
but it soon became apparent that only a step had been taken in the right 
direction. Grand Consul McMillin was a most efficient officer, but events 
clearly proved the necessity of more radical measures and a more system¬ 
atic organization. The Grand Tribune was at this time simply a member of 
the Grand Council, having charge of its official correspondence, but so 
imperative became the necessity of having some geographical centre for 
the government that, early in 1884, Lafayette,.Indiana, the home of the Grand 
Consul, became the temporary headquarters of the fraternity, with Colfax E. 
Earl, of the Xi, as Grand Tribune. The magazine had assumed the work 
of shaping the fraternity policy, and was vigorously agitating many radical 
measures. For this purpose, and in order to give definite shape to the legis¬ 
lation proposed, an informal convention of the Northwestern chapters was 
called to meet with the Omega at Evanston, Illinois, on January 25 and 26, 
1884. The meeting was attended by delegates from Xi, Chi, Alpha Eta, Kappa 
Kappa, Alpha Zeta, Alpha Iota and Omega. Hon. Charles M. Dawson, of 
Theta, presided over the temporary organization; and Walter L. Fisher, of 
the Chi, was chosen Permanent Chairman, with Edwin L. Shuman, of the 
Omega, as Secretary. Great earnestness prevailed, and the most important 
measures were thoroughly discussed, the opinions of the convention being 
expressed by appropriate resolutions. The social feature was a very pleas¬ 
ant banquet, which closed one of the most successful and influential con¬ 
ferences ever held by chapters of Sigma Chi. 

When the Fifteenth Grand Chapter met at Cincinnati, on the 26th of 
the following August, the debates of this little district convention had spread 
throughout the entire fraternity, and all was ripe for action. The temporary 
disbandment of the Gamma during the Spring had removed many of those 
historic and traditional obstacles that had been powerful considerations in 
the past. It was a memorable convention. Thirty-four chapters were rep¬ 
resented by properly accredited delegates, and large numbers of visiting 
members, both active and graduate, were in attendance. Freeman G. Teed, 
of the Kappa, was chosen Grand Consul, with Edgar W. Work, of Beta, as 
Grand Pro-Consul; James Cannon, Jr., of Gamma Gamma, as Grand An-

li 


motator; W. Frank Irwin, of Chi, Assistant Grand Annotator; Colfax E. 
Earl, of Xi, as Grand Tribune ; and Herbert Healey, of Mu, as Grand 
Custos. The chapters represented were—Gamma, Beta, Zeta, Eta, Theta, 
Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Xi, Omicron, Pi, Rho, Tau, Chi, Omega, Gamma 
Gamma, Delta Delta, Delta Chi, Zeta Zeta, Zeta Psi, Theta Theta, Kappa 
Kappa, Sigma Sigma, Phi Phi, Alpha Gamma, Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon, 
Alpha Eta, Alpha Zeta, Alpha Kappa, Alpha Lambda, Alpha Xi, Eta Alumni, 
and Theta Alumni. The total attendance was about two hundred, and was 
probably the largest ever attained at a Sigma Chi Convention. 

But the distinguishing feature of this memorable Grand Chapter was 
the adoption of the constitution under which the fraternity has since been 
so successfully conducted. A carefully prepared document embodying the 
features that had been advocated during the preceding year, had been 
drawn up by the editor of the fraternity magazine. This instrument was 
thoroughly discussed in committee, was unanimously recommended to the 
convention, and, after prolonged debate, was enthusiastically adopted, prac¬ 
tically without change. Its adoption marked a new epoch in the history of 
Sigma Chi. Briefly, it provided for the election of a General Secretary and 
a Governing Council of nine members, to whom is confided the management 
of the affairs of the fraternity during the intervals between the biennial 
sessions of the Grand Chapter. The Grand Council consists of nine mem¬ 
bers, a Grand Consul, a Grand Annotator, a Grand Quaestor and six Grand 
Praetors. The duties of the first three are sufficiently indicated by their 
titles, which correspond to those of president, secretary and treasurer. The 
Grand Praetors are the heads of the six divisions of the fraternity. The 
old division by states was now abandoned ; ,and the entire fraternity was 
divided into six Provinces, over each of which a Grand Praetor is placed as 
its representative in the governing body and its responsible executive head. 
The Grand Tribune is the general secretary of the fraternity, and receives an 
adequate salary for his services. He is the chief executive officer under the 
control of the Grand Council, of which, however, he is not a member. Upon 
him the general administrative responsibility falls and the duty of executive 
leadership. In order to secure a wise centralization and to promote prac¬ 
tical efficiency, the constitution requires that the Grand Tribune and three 
of the members of the Grand Council (who may be either the three general 
officers, or any two of these, together with one of the Grand Praetors), shall 
be chosen from the same city or immediate locality. These three members 
of the Grand Council are known as the Grand Triumvirs, and constitute a 
sort of central committee of that body. They are required to meet at least 
once in each two weeks during the college year; and upon them rests the 
burden of the initiative in all matters that require the consideration of the 
Grand Council. Before them the Grand Tribune makes his fortnightly 
report of the condition of the fraternity, reads his correspondence with the 


lii 


SIGMA CHI. 


chapters and the other officers, and suggests such measures as he may deem 
advisable. Petitions for charters to establish new chapters are presented 
first to the Grand Triumvirs, by whom a preliminary investigation is made, 
the results of which are placed by the Grand Tribune before the active 
chapters and the other members of the Grand Council. The chapters 
communicate their views to their respective Praetors and to the Grand Tri¬ 
bune ; and the issuing of a charter is finally determined by a two-thirds 
vote of the Grand Council. The Grand Triumvirs also sit as the supreme 
judiciary of the fraternity to hear and determine appeals. By action of this 
Fifteenth Grand Chapter all secret matters relating to the fraternity were 
transferred to the ritual, which was thoroughly revised; and the oath of 
secresy was removed from the constitution, which is now printed in a neat 
little pamphlet, and is supplied, together with the few amendments since 
adopted, to the members of the fraternity at the nominal price of twenty- 
five cents per copy. From it all the details of the organic law of the frater¬ 
nity can more fully be ascertained. 

The first Grand Council of Sigma Chi elected under its provisions, 
consisted of J. Howard Ferris, Mu, ’76, Grand Consul; Frank M. Elliot, 
Omega, ’77, Grand Annotator; William M. Booth, Omega, ’78, Grand 
Quaestor, and the following Grand Praetors : Charles R. Trowbridge, Theta, 
’82; William C. Ludwig, Zeta, ’85 ; John S. Happer, Beta, ’85 ; Charles W. 
Moores, Rho, ’8i, Delta Chi, ’82; E. Wyllys Andrews, Omega, ’78, and 
Daniel H. Wheeler, Jr., Alpha Epsilon, ’83. Chicago, Illinois, was selected 
as the governmental headquarters ; and Walter L. Fisher, Chi, ’83, was 
elected Grand Tribune. Booth, Elliot and Andrews, of the Grand Coun¬ 
cil, were chosen as Grand Triumvirs. When, in 1883, Theta resigned 
the editorial and financial management of the fraternity magazine, which it 
had so successfully conducted, Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi, had reluctantly 
consented to assume the vacant position of Editor-in-Chief, and to under¬ 
take the entire editorial and financial responsibility of its publication. An 
aggressive policy had been adopted, which met with the support of the 
fraternity, and great pride was taken in the success which had thus been 
achieved and in the prominence of the magazine. An elaborate system 
was now adopted under which its publication was to be regulated during 
the succeeding two years. All active members were required to become 
subscribers ; and Mr. Fisher was elected Editor-in-Chief, again assuming 
entire financial responsibility. The publication of a new edition of the 
Catalogue had been vigorously advocated in the magazine and by corre¬ 
spondence during the past year; and Charles A. Wightman, of the Omega,, 
was elected Grand Historian, with power to proceed at once with the com¬ 
pilation of an exhaustive Catalogue and History of the fraternity. Into this 
task he entered with great zeal and marked success, devoting an enormous 
amount of energy and time to the work. The result of his labors was

liii 


turned over to the Publication Committee appointed in 1885 by the Grand 
Council, and his manuscript has formed the basis of the present edition of 
the Catalogue. Hon. Isaac M. Jordan, of the Alpha, was the orator of this 
Fifteenth Grand Chapter ; and Walter Malone, of the Eta, was the poet of 
the occasion. 

It will be unnecessary here to describe the work of the new govern¬ 
mental system, the success of which delighted the fraternity and astonished 
its rivals. The evidences of its success have everywhere been apparent, 
and have received the enthusiastic recognition of the fraternity. Chicago 
has remained the governmental headquarters, and no material alteration in 
the constitution has even been suggested. A number of changes occurred 
in the Grand Council during the next two years. Frank R. Morse, of Mu, 
was elected to succeed John S. Happer, as Praetor of the Third Prov¬ 
ince, early in 1885 ; and shortly afterward John B. McPherson, of Theta 
succeeded Charles R. Trowbridge, as Praetor of the First Province. In 
1886 Alexander A. Sharp, of the Omicron, succeeded McPherson; and 
Nathan Powell, of Chi, was elected as the successor of Grand Praetor 
Moores, in the Fourth Province. During these two years the activity of 
the Grand Council was unceasing, although its progressive energy was 
tempered by a wise conservatism. In 1885 the half-dozen petitions pre¬ 
sented before it were rejected, and the charter of the Pi was withdrawn 
on account of the hostility of the faculty at Howard College. Early in this 
year the Grand Annotator, Mr. Frank M. Elliot, published his “History of 
Omegaf the first extended history of a fraternity chapter. It was received 
with the applause of the entire fraternity world, and has remained without 
a rival in its field. 

In the Spring of this year successful State Conventions were held by 
the chapters in Indiana and Ohio; and in the Fall the Grand Council 
decided to inagurate the system of regular Provincial Conventions, to be 
held in all of the Provinces during the years alternating with those in which 
occur the sessions of the biennial conventions. The Grand Historian had 
now progressed far enough with the preparation of the new Catalogue to 
require the discussion of some plan for its early publication; and it was 
determined to call a series of these Provincial meetings at once to discuss 
this and other matters of interest. The result was eminently satisfactory, 
and has made the Provincial Convention a permanent feature of the frater¬ 
nity management. The first convention of this series was that of the Fifth 
Province, held at Chicago on January 4 and 5, 1886 ; and the last was that 
of the Sixth Province, which occurred at Lawrence, Kansas, on May 6 
following. The First Province met with the Alpha Delta at Hoboken, New 
Jersey. The Second Province convened at Lynchburg, Virginia. Mu 
Chapter entertained the Third Province at Granville, Ohio ; and the Fourth 
Province met at Greencastle, Indiana, under the auspices of the Xi. At all 


liv 


SIGMA CHI. 


of these conventions, except that of the Sixth Province, the Grand Council 
was represented not only by the Praetors of the respective Provinces, but 
also by the Grand Tribune. The college year closed with the revocation 
of the charter of the Alpha Kappa, and the establishment of the Alpha 
Omicron, the Alpha Pi and the Alpha Beta. 

The Sixteenth Grand Chapter met at the Neil House, Columbus, Ohio, 
on September 7, 8 and 9, 1886, twenty-nine chapters being represented. It 
was a most successful convention, and won great credit for Alpha Gamma 
and the resident alumni, who were the lavish hosts of the occasion. The 
literary features were an oration by Hon. Orville S. Brumback, of the Beta 
and Theta Theta ; a paper by Mr. Charles T. Murray, of the Lambda ; and 
a poem by Prof. Marion M. Miller, of the Beta. The officers of the con¬ 
vention were—Jason W. Firestone, of the Gamma, Grand Consul; Milton 
C. Reinhold, of the Kappa, Grand Pro-Consul; Robert C. Spencer, Jr., of 
the Alpha Lambda, Grand Annotator ; Paul F. Clark, of the Alpha Epsilon, 
Grand Tribune; Charles Kirkpatrick, of the Xi, Grand Quaestor; and 
George Monypenny, of the Alpha Gamma, Grand Custos. The officers of 
the Grand Council presented exhaustive reports, and a great deal of inter¬ 
esting business was transacted, concluding with the hearty endorsement of 
the policy pursued by the administration during the preceding two years. 
The success of the magazine had been so thoroughly demonstrated since 
the last convention, that the fraternity assumed the financial responsibility 
of its publication, and placed its business affairs in the hands of the Grand 
Quaestor, under the general supervision of the Grand Triumvirs. A com¬ 
plete new Financial Code was adopted, and the revenues of the fraternity 
were placed upon a sound business basis. Chicago was continued as the 
governmental headquarters, and the following Grand Council was elected : 
Hon. Orville S. Brumback, of the Beta and Theta Theta, Grand Consul; 
Frank M. Elliot, of the Omega, Grand Annotator ; Charles A. Wightman, 
of the Omega, Grand Quaestor; Alexander A. Sharp, of the Omicron; 
Richard H. Bennett, of the Gamma Gamma ; Oscar W. Kuhn, of the Zeta 
Psi; Nathan Powell, of the Chi; Clarence S. Pellet, of the Alpha Zeta; 
and Paul F. Clark, of the Alpha Epsilon, as Grand Praetors. Walter L. 
Fisher, of the Chi, was re-elected Grand Tribune, and also Editor-in-Chief 
of the fraternity magazine. Elliot, Wightman and Pellet, of the Grand 
Council, were designated as Grand Triumvirs. Mr. Elliot was forced, by the 
pressure of other duties, to resign in February, 1887 ; and Mason Bross, of 
the Omega, was elected as his successor. John S. Happer, of the Beta, who 
had formerly been Grand Praetor of the Third Province, had removed to 
New York City, and became the head of the First Province in May, 1887, 
on the resignation of Grand Praetor Sharp ; and Granville G. Sydnor, of the 
Sigma Sigma, succeeded Richard H. Bennett in the Second Province, in

lv 


The only chapters established by this Grand Council were the Alpha 
Rho, at Lehigh University, on June 6, 1887, and the Beta Alumni, at Mont¬ 
gomery, Alabama, on March 9 of that year. The great problem of the 
administration was the publication of the Catalogue and History. This 
important and laborious task had been turned over to the Grand Council by 
the Sixteenth Grand Chapter ; and early in 1887, it was by this body assigned 
to a Publication Committee, consisting of Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi; 
Charles A. Wightman, of the Omega ; Clarence S. Pellet, of the Alpha Zeta ; 
Ellsworth G. Ritchie, of the Beta; and Arthur T. Wells, of the Kappa, with 
full power to act. This committee adopted comprehensive plans for com¬ 
pleting the work of compilation, and devoted much time and labor to their 
execution. Much was accomplished under its direction ; but the committee 
disbanded during the following Summer, and the prosecution of the work was 
left to the Grand Tribune, who continued it as rapidly as possible. In the 
Summer of 1888 the assistance of Charles Ailing, Jr., of the Chi and Theta 
Theta, and for a time that of Edwin L. and Jesse J. Shuman, of the Omega, 
was secured, and a part of the manuscript was at last ready for the printer 
when the Seventeenth Grand Chapter met at Chicago. 

Meanwhile, the fraternity had made an important and novel change in 
its journalistic policy. In May, 1887, the Grand Tribune proposed to the 
Grand Council that the fraternity magazine be changed from a bi-monthly 
to a quarterly publication ; and that a strictly private monthly newspaper 
be published, to be known as The Sigma Chi Bulletin, which should be 
edited by the Grand Tribune, as the official organ of the Grand Council, to 
be devoted to the internal affairs of the fraternity, and to be mailed under 
seal to the active members and to such subscribers to The Sigma Chi 
Quarterly as should require it. A sample copy, embodying the ideas of 
its editors, was issued in May, 1887, and met the instant and enthusiastic 
approval of the fraternity. It has since become one of the most popular 
and invaluable features in the administration of the affairs of Sigma Chi, 
to which it is peculiar. 

The latest or Seventeenth Grand Chapter met at Chicago, under the 
auspices of the Omega Alumni, on August 29, 30 and 31, 1888, and was one 
of the most enjoyable conventions the fraternity has ever held. Twenty-eight 
chapters were represented. Judge Frank Baker, of the Gamma, was the 
orator, and Walter Malone, of Eta, was again the poet. The officers of the 
convention were—Hon. Charles M. Dawson, of the Theta, Grand Consul; 
Robert J. Perkins, Jr., of the Alpha Omicron, Grand Pro-Consul; Charles 
Ailing, Jr., of the Chi and Theta Theta, Grand Annotator ; Stuart L. Jones, 
of the Tau, Assistant Grand Annotator ; Robert L. McAlpine, of the Alpha 
Xi, Grand Quaestor; James M. Givens, of the Zeta Zeta, Grand Tribune; 
and Albert T. Schroeder, of the Alpha Lambda, Grand Custos. Charles 
Ailing, Jr., of the Chi and Theta Theta, was chosen Grand Tribune ; and 


lvi

the following Grand Council was elected : Grand Consul, Frank M. Elliot, 
of the Omega ; Grand Quaestor, Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi; Grand Anno¬ 
tator, Frank T. Andrews, of the Omega ; Grand Praetors, William H. Mer¬ 
rill, Jr., of the Alpha Theta; William D. Hooper, of the Sigma Sigma; C. 
Wood Walter, of the Beta; Howard Gordon, of the Xi; Albert T. Schroe- 
der, of the Alpha Lambda, and Charles L. Smith, of the Alpha Xi. Elliot, 
Fisher and Andrews, of the Grand Council, were designated as Grand Tri¬ 
umvirs ; and Chicago was enthusiastically continued as the governmental 
headquarters. 

Since this convention the affairs of the fraternity have been satisfac¬ 
torily administered, and are now in the most prosperous condition. The 
Grand Tribune, Charles Ailing, Jr., has been given the editorial charge of 
The Sigma Chi Quarterly, which has been efficiently conducted, and has 
been sent during the past two years to every member of the fraternity 
whose correct address is known. Charters have been granted to the Alpha 
Sigma, the Alpha Tau and the Alpha Upsilon; and other plans for judi¬ 
cious extension will soon be consummated. The publication of this Cata¬ 
logue and History has now been accomplished, and will enable the Grand 
Council to push to a successful issue many far reaching and important 
projects that have been awaiting its appearance. Already the practical 
interest of the older members of the fraternity has been thoroughly aroused ; 
and alumni chapters have recently been formed at Washington, D. C., and 
at New York City, the former being chartered in 1889, as the Epsilon Alumni, 
and the latter in 1890, as the Gamma Alumni. The following changes have 
occurred in the Grand Council: Henry C. Stilwell, of the Mu, has succeeded 
C. Wood Walter, as Praetor of the Third Province ; Ernest H. Lindley, of 
the Lambda, is now Praetor of the Fourth Province ; and in the Fifth Prov¬ 
ince, Albert T. Schroeder has been followed by John V. Norcross, of the 
Alpha Zeta. Recently the Chapter House system has become exceedingly 
popular with the fraternity. A large number of the chapters have for some 
years rented attractive houses which they have furnished, in some cases 
handsomely, in all comfortably, and where their members now live together 
as a college family in a college home. During the past year the Chi has 
erected on a beautifully situated piece of property, which it has owned for 
some time, a handsome house of its own ; and houses are either in process 
of construction or are about to be constructed at several other institutions. 
A number of the remaining chapters have already accumulated building 
funds of considerable amounts, and are vigorously pushing plans for the 
early erection of houses of their own. The Alpha Pi is now building on 
the college campus a beautiful little stone lodge for meeting purposes; and 
similar buildings are about to be erected at two or three of the colleges 
where the adoption of the regular chapter house system does not yet seem 
expedient. 


SIGMA CHI. 


lvii 


Childhood and youth have passed; and with the close of its thirty- 
fifth year Sigma Chi is fairly entered upon a vigorous and successful man¬ 
hood. Its brief career has not been unattended by misfortune or mistake; 
and yet there can be no more fitting method of closing this history than 
with a word upon the work which the fraternity has been able to accomplish 
and the prosperity which now attends it. Starting in 1855 at an institution 
which almost immediately thereafter entered on its declining years, and 
soon ceased to afford suitable material for the sustenance of a chapter which 
preferred death to a struggling and uncertain existence, the condition of 
Sigma Chi to-day is little short of a marvel. External results are not the 
measure of its success; and yet here can be recorded only the external 
phases of its history. Believing that the strength of a fraternity depends 
first upon its essential unity and the homogeneous character of its member¬ 
ship, Sigma Chi has exalted the beauty and worth of real friendship. Believ¬ 
ing that mutual responsibility is one of the high laws of friendship, Sigma 
Chi has adopted the highest standard of manhood as the ideal toward which 
its chapters shall resolutely strive. Size, numbers, external achievements, of 
whatever sort, are all subordinated to this end ; and quality is the measure of 
success. It would not be proper here, nor would it be permitted, to discuss 
the wide-reaching plans which are already ripening to their successful result. 
It is enough to know, what has long been recognized by friends and foes, that 
Sigma Chi possesses above all else the courage of its convictions. Plans 
which once would have been ridiculed as impracticable, are now in process 
of actual fulfillment. Ideals recently characterized as theoretical and vision¬ 
ary, are to-day the accepted standards of success. A development once 
thought impossible is already a matter of confident anticipation and of practi¬ 
cal endeavor. The record of the past may be significant only as a promise 
of the future. The problem of endurance and ultimate success may still be 
unsolved ; but hope rules the hour, and the strength and vigor of a dawning 
manhood are prophetic of the answer.

MIAMI UNIVERSITY. 


This institution holds an exceptional place in the roll of American Colleges. In the 
history of higher education in the United States it will always be a landmark ; for, together 
with that founded at Athens by the New England Ohio Land Company, it was the pioneer 
of the many colleges and universities which owe their existence and their present wealth to 
the general government. These two were the first colleges aided by grants of land, and in 
their founding the precedent was set which has since resulted in dotting our land with 
educational institutions endowed by gifts from the public domain and supported by the 
states. In 1787, John Cleves Symmes contracted with the United States Government for the 
purchase of one million acres of land in the Northwest Territory, to be bounded on the south 
by the Ohio, on the west by the Great Miami, and on the east by the Little Miami rivers. 
A condition of the sale was that one entire township of this land was to be given for the 
establishment of an academy or seminary of learning. Symmes was one of the territorial 
judges and an able and upright man ; but he never received the amount of land to which he 
was entitled and which required him under the contract to make the academy reserve ; and 
afterwards by special act of Congress lands allotted for the endowment were, in 1803, located 
west of the Great Miami. 

The seat of the institution was named Oxford, in expectation, no doubt, of its becoming 
the site of an institution worthy a name so representative of literature and learning. The 
first Board of Trustees was appointed in 1809, but it was not until 1816 that an academy was 
opened. The College organization was perfected in 1824, with Rev. R. H. Bishop, D.D.,, 
as President, and J. E. Annan and William Sparrow as his assistants. The first class gradu¬ 
ated was that of 1826, consisting of twelve members. From that time onward to 1861, its 
growth was steady though not remarkable. From 1850 to i860 its average attendance was 
nearly two hundred ; and this was probably its most prosperous period. Its graduating class 
of 1858 numbered forty-two ; and during this period it enjoyed a reputation second to no 
college in the West. About i860, however, the expenses of the University began to exceed 
its income. The lands set apart for its endowment had been leased at an early day for 
ninety-nine years, renewable forever , without revaluation. The rental was fixed at six per 
centum per annum on the original valuation, which was from two to four dollars per acre ; 
and the actual yearly income from this source amounted to only $5,600. Cheap scholarships 
at other institutions and the war of 1861-5 lessened the number of students, and as a result, 
reduced the income from tuition fees. In 1868 the effort was made to put new life into the 
college by the erection of new buildings at an outlay of $50,000. This involved the Uni¬ 
versity still more, and resulted in 1873, in its being closed. 

It remained closed until 1885. During these years the land rentals were invested, and 
an additional annual income of $4,000 is now derived. The State also, in 1884, made it an 
appropriation of $20,000. In 1887 another appropriation was made to it, and the buildings, 
grounds, library, and apparatus were put in better order. Sixty acres compose the campus, 
part of which is in its native state of wildness. The illustration accompanying this sketch, 
represents the main building, “The College,” as it is called in distinction from the two 
dormitories, known as “ Northeast,” and “ Southeast,” respectively. 

With the beginning of the year 1888-9, a complete re-organization began, and co-edu¬ 
cation was then adopted ; but since its re-opening the attendance has always been consider¬ 
ably less than one hundred. The alumni of Miami, numbering 1,032 in 1873, have been its 
crowning glory, and upon them its future depends. No institution can show a list more 
distinguished and influential. Their reverence and enthusiasm for alma mater has always 
been remarkable ; and with their aid her history may yet go far toward fulfilling the hopes 
of her early patrons and founders. The alumni roll, on which appears the name of Presi¬ 
dent Benjamin Harrison, embraces many of the most prominent men in the nation in almost 
every department of honorable activity, and goes far in support of the claim that Miami 
has been the most important educational influence in the great Northwest.

THE ALPHA.

THE ALPHA. 


During the decade immediately following 1850, Miami University was 
n her prime. Two hundred students annually answered to her rolls and 
filled her halls with busy college life. Enjoying the prestige of educational 
leadership in the State, and with a fame that spread throughout the West, 
Miami was attracting to herself a brilliant company of youth, whose names 
have since made hers illustrious. As elsewhere, the Greek-letter fraterni¬ 
ties naturally formed the centres of her undergraduate life, and among these 
student groups the chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon was especially remark¬ 
able. Four fraternities had been established in the institution. Alpha 
Delta Phi had planted there her second chapter in 1835. Beta Theta Pi 
•had been born there in 1839. In 1848, the leading non-fraternity students 
of the institution seem to have been impressed with the desirability of 
organization, and Phi Delta Theta was established as a sort of secret literary 
society, with more or less indefinite fraternal aims. So broad appears to 
have been its conception of brotherhood, that the local chapter became so 
large in 1852 that it was divided into two sections, which met separately 
upon different nights. In such a large and heterogeneous organization the 
ties of friendship were necessarily slight, and the mutual obligations which the 
chapter sought to enforce were artificial and irksome to a number of bright, 
active fellows among its members. The conflict between organization and 
individuality soon precipitated a crisis, and in this same year, 1852, a portion 
of its members founded the Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon. It was 
a peculiar organization which they established, and which, in the Fall of 1854, 
numbered twelve of the most brilliant and aggressive students in the Uni¬ 
versity. One of its distinguished members has recently said, that “in 
every college there is an indefinable something , which attracts young men 
together in the ties of brotherhood; in Kappa Chapter it was the spirit of 
individuality.” In this statement is inadvertently contained the real secret of 
the origin of Sigma Chi; for it is certainly true that the spirit which led to 
the founding of A K E at Miami, was more that of revolt against the attempt 
of the Phi Delta Theta organization to coerce its individual members, than 
that of personal friendship between these same rebellious members. It 
took but two years to prove that “the spirit of individuality” alone can not 
long hold young men together in the ties of brotherhood. ' Certainly, in 1854, 
the Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter contained an abundance both of talent 
and of individuality ; but it contained also a radical divergence of opinion 
as to the ideal and objects of a college fraternity. The controlling spirit of 
.the chapter was aptly represented in the person of its presiding officer, 



MIAMI UNIVERSITY.

Whitelaw Reid, now editor of the New York Tribune. Brilliant and aggress¬ 
ive, with the same - talent for organization and leadership, the student 
possessed the political tastes and aptitudes that have since distinguished 
our Minister to France. With these tastes those of the older members were 
in entire accord. They were able, aggressive and ambitious. It is claimed 
that Delta Kappa Epsilon received more honors from the literary societies, 
the coveted prizes of the institution, than all the other secret organizations 
in the University combined. They elected all the presidents, secretaries, 
orators, poets and janitors; and, flushed with the success of their infant 
organization, then but two years old, the older members asked from it but 
little else. There had been initiated into the chapter, however, a number of 
younger members, equally able and independent, whose character and tastes 
were somewhat different, who had no traditions of a membership in Phi 
Delta Theta, and who asked of their fraternity more of friendship and less 
of politics. They despised not honors but demanded also a more genuine 
and personal good-fellowship. 

All was not harmonious when the Erodelphian Literary Society was 
approaching the election of orators and poets for the Christmas celebration 
of 1854. What followed in the chapter is best described in the language of 
General Runkle : “ Well, we held a caucus, and all went well and smoothly as 
far as the election of an orator. Indeed, it could not be otherwise, for had 
we not the silver-tongued Whitelaw Reid, inexhaustible as to his words and 
eloquent as to his ideas ? But when it came to imposing a poet on a long- 
suffering University the rebellion broke out, and not without cause, for the 
chief qualification our candidate for society poet could boast, was his utter 
inability to write anything that resembled poetry in the least degree what¬ 
ever. And the rebellion waxed fierce and hot. Six of us entered the 
University Hall and voted against the caucus candidate. This was the 
unpardonable sin; but as there were just six loyal subjects of King Caucus 
and six rebels, they could not expel us; and so they did the next best thing, 
ran away with the charter, records and seals, and the rebels started the 
Sigma Chi.” The disruption, however, did not immediately result. To the 
Sigma Chi six nothing of tremendous import seemed to have occurred. 
With frank independence, having candidly announced in the caucus their 
disbelief in the fitness of their aspirant for poetic honors, they had simply 
followed their convictions by opposing his election. With the other 
faction, however, it was far different, and a plan of retaliation was soon 
attempted. It was a regular meeting night; and the fraternity assembled 
over a restaurant, where the six, who afterward founded Sigma Chi, had 
provided a bountiful supper. The “loyal six,” as they afterward called 
themselves, came late, and when they did appear were headed by Minor 
Milliken, an alumnus, who had been a very prominent member of A K E. 
They refused to join in the supper; but, nothing daunted, the Sigma Chi

THE ALPHA 


fathers did it full justice, until called to order by Reid, “ Pater Primus ” 
who without more ado introduced Mr. Milliken to the chapter. Minor 
Milliken was a rare character,, intense, impatient and dramatic. About his 
name there still clings a halo of romance. His scholarly accomplishments 
and intensity of feeling endeared him to his friends, whose affectionate 
remembrances have not been lessened by his heroic death at the head of 
h^s regiment at the battle of Stone River. He had heard one version of the 
chapter’s troubles, and with characteristic impetuosity he had come to use 
heroic measures. The opening words of his speech are still remembered: 
“ My name is Minor Milliken. I come from Hamilton. I am a man of 
few words.” And from this he went on in language more marked for force 
than either tact or elegance, to denounce the short-comings of the offending 
members. The plan that had been outlined was to regain political control 
of the chapter by expelling one or two of the obnoxious party ; but they 
had not counted on the recalcitrant members standing solidly together as 
they did. When Milliken finished there were angry and excited replies. 
Forgetting their own revolt from Phi Delta Theta and that “ spirit of indi¬ 
viduality,” which is still the chapters pride, the leaders saw only that they 
had suffered political defeat, because they could not coerce the votes of 
all their members. Reid was now a hot champion of compact organization, 
and declaimed that “ in any contest with the enemy, the Delta Kappa Epsi¬ 
lon fraternity, like Nelson at Trafalgar, had a right to expect that every 
man would do his duty”—assuming, of course, that “the loyal six ” were 
the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. Charges and counter charges were 
made and resented. Every advantage was taken of Milliken’s support and 
influence, and it was even attempted to vote him as a member of the chap¬ 
ter. The dramatic crisis came when Runkle took off his badge, threw it on 
the table, saying, “I didn’t join this society to be anybody’s tool; there’s 
my answer,” and stalked out of the hall, followed by the other five. 

After this there was one more stormy meeting in the room of Reid, in 
the “ Old South East ” building. No business was transacted. Reid moved 
that the rebellious members be expelled ; and the vote stood six to six. 
The meeting broke up in disorder ; but the Reid party, having secured the 
archives, charter, constitution and seals, had the advantage and stubbornly 
held the fort. An appeal to the fraternity authorities followed, and some- 
sort of a Bull of Excommunication was fulminated by the parent chapter at 
Yale, under Milliken’s powerful influence. The unconquerable six, Jordan, 
Runkle, Bell, Cooper, Caldwell and Scobey, then proceeded to organize a 
new fraternity, naming it the Sigma Phi. They drew up a constitution, 
which was, to all intents and purposes, a copy of that of A KE, and adopted 
a grand seal. Before doing this they had made their number seven, by the 
addition of Will L. Lockwood, whose unflagging energy, poetic enthusiasm, 
and almost chivalric devotion to the fraternity, exerted a most marked in- 


MIAMI UNIVERSITY.

fluence over its subsequent affairs, and form one of the most interesting pages 
in its early history. Lockwood and Runkle drew the design for the badge, 
and the first ones were made by a jeweler by the name of Bradley, at Cin¬ 
cinnati, Ohio. 

Now, these seven striplings, who founded the Sigma Chi, while they were 
enthusiastic, were no dreaming enthusiasts, but live, practical boys, who 
loved life for what they found fair and pleasant in life, and the world for the 
world’s own sake. It was such men as Isaac M. Jordan, the distinguished 
jurist and Congressman; Ben. P. Runkle, the lawyer, preacher, journalist 
and soldier, a graduate of ’57, who came out of the war a major general; 
James P. Caldwell, who graduated at sixteen among the leading scholars of his 
class ; Frank H. Scobey, warm-hearted, generous and gifted, and Rev. Daniel 
W. Cooper, who even in his college days was “Old Dan,” noble, true-hearted 
and manly; it was these men, who, on the 28th of June, 1855, flung out to 
the gaze of the old established Greek-Letter Societies the banner of the 
White Cross with a confidence that bordered on a belief in Destiny. 
They were whole-souled, generous, brave fellows. Five of them went to 
the front at the first roll of the drums,—four in the Union and one in the 
Confederate army. They had an ideal of fraternity, which was different 
from that which their observation and experience taught them prevailed in 
the organizations by which they svere surrounded. They believed in that 
personal intimacy that could exist only among a comparatively small num¬ 
ber, and repudiated the early Phi Delta Theta idea of a fraternal organiza¬ 
tion. They believed in individuality and manly independence; but they 
required first, as the only natural basis of organization, congenial tastes, good- 
fellowship and genuine personal friendship. They believed in a proper mu¬ 
tual support in the contests for college honors, but they believed also that 
fraternal helpfulness could manifest itself in a thousand quieter forms of 
greater value. They honored self-esteem, but disliked arrogance and con¬ 
ceit. They stood above all for sincerity and against artificiality and 
hypocrisy. 

In 1858 Will Lockwood wrote to A. D. Lemon, of the Lambda : “ Of the 
purity and uprightness of our motives, I leave you to judge. In our meet¬ 
ings, for the past three years, I have spent some of my happiest moments— 
so happy, so pleasant, that the remembrance of them will always be vivid. 
When you recruit your ranks, be certain to choose congenial, high-minded, 
talented fellows.” In 1878 General Runkle said : “ Four-and-twenty years 
have passed since seven enthusiastic striplings raised aloft the Sigma stand¬ 
ard, emblazoned with the White Cross and the motto honored and respected 
throughout the Christian world for ages, 1 In hoc signo vinccs and what¬ 
ever may be or may have been their faults, or however far they may at 
times have strayed from the straight path, not one of them has ever lost 
faith in that symbol or his veneration for the grand and beautiful teachings 
2

THE ALPHA. 


which that motto must ever bring to the minds of those who believe the 
doctrines and reverence the character of Him who crimsoned with his life’s 
blood a Roman cross nearly nineteen hundred years ago. The first presid¬ 
ing officer of this fraternity—and I am glad to say it—was a Christian gen¬ 
tleman, who is to-day a Doctor of Divinity, standing high in the councils of 
his Church.” In 1884 Hon. I. M. Jordan said : “ In my judgment our fra¬ 
ternity has grown to be what it is by adhering to the principle with which 
we started in the beginning, of admitting no man to membership in it 
who is not believed to be a man of good character, of fair ability, of am¬ 
bitious purposes, and of congenial disposition—in a word, by the ad¬ 
mission of none but gentlemen. It is much more important that we 
should have but few chapters and have them good ones; that we should 
have but few members and have them honorable ones, than to have many 
chapters or many members.” A prominent member of the old A K E chap¬ 
ter wrote in 1885 : “ Both sides believed in liberty, neither advocated unbri¬ 
dled license,” and added, “ Whatever may have been the merits of this 
controversy, which threatened the peace, if not the very existence of the 
fraternity at Oxford, it is none the less true that all feeling perished with 
the parent chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. When General Runkle lay 
upon the field of Shiloh, with wounds which were supposed to be mortal, 
the pen of * Agate ’ paid a glowing tribute to his gallantry; and Whitelaw 
Reid, with touching pathos, hoped the grass would grow green over the 
friend of other days.” 

Neither Sigma Chi nor its founders have cherished any bitterness 
toward Delta Kappa Epsilon, or its individual members, with whom we held 
our early controversies. We are informed that there was a time when a large 
number of the A K E favored a consolidation of the two fraternities, and 
that a committee of conference was appointed, but it came to naught. Some¬ 
time during the war, after several of the “ original six ” had, in some degree, 
distinguished themselves in battle, the general convention of Delta Kappa 
.lEpsilon, on motion, it is stated, of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, and at the request 
-of the Oxford Chapter, voted them all back into the A K E ; and they have 
sail, with one exception, been borne upon the roll of that fraternity as if 
^members in good standing. But in “ the fifties ” all was not so smooth, 
.although the new fraternity initiated several bright and gentlemanly fellows, 
:and took position among the Greeks at once. In that day the supremacy 
•of New England in matters literary, as well as in many other matters, was 
ifelt and acknowledged. The advantages all lay with the older Eastern fra¬ 
ternities, and they were at first disposed to jeer at their latest and most 
:ambitious rival; while the older Western fraternities, instead of welcoming 
at as an ally, prophesied all manner of evil against it. The faculty held a 
meeting, and desired to be informed as to the object and purpose of the 
organization. This was easily and satisfactorily explained; and from that time

they became its warm and devoted friends. Its members took great pride 
in their fraternity; they entered on all their college duties with great zeal 
and earnestness, tried to excel in every department of study, contended for 
every literary hall or college prize, and made great friends among the non¬ 
society men. They made the latter their allies in the literary societies, and 
dealt justly and fairly with them, sharing with them the honors they de¬ 
sired for themselves. This policy made the fraternity exceedingly strong 
without enlarging its membership. Every Sigma stood ready to defend the 
White Cross against all comers ; and Runkle, with more courage than dis¬ 
cretion, attacked the college bully, a member of Beta Theta Pi, during 
prayers one morning for sneering at his badge. There was a regular Don- 
nybrook Fair of a time, garnished with black eyes and bloody noses. Runkle 
and the bully were both suspended, although Runkle remained away for a 
few days only, the sympathy of the faculty being with him, and one digni¬ 
fied old professor remarking to him, “ I don’t blame you : I wouldn’t have 
blamed you if you had taken a club to him.” 

The chapter at Delaware was established during the following Winter; 
and the fraternity was so successful that intense envy and jealousy was ex¬ 
cited among its rivals. One evening, on assembling, the Sigmas found that 
their room had been broken into, their strong box rifled, and constitution, 
seal and all carried off. The perpetrators of this act were never positively 
known; but the sin was always laid at the door of Beta Theta Pi, whose 
members were intensely bitter on account of the encounter already men¬ 
tioned. However, the fraternity won favor out of the incident. The loss 
was taken very philosophically. Charles Reynolds came as a delegate from 
Gamma to Oxford, and the Sigma Chi was organized with a new constitu¬ 
tion, grand seal, name, badge and all. The jewelry was contracted for in 
New York, and was a decided improvement on the Cincinnati work. The 
constitution was written in cipher, the key being known at first only to Lock- 
wood and Runkle at Miami. A library was collected, and arrangements 
made for the First Biennial Convention! The old jealousies and bickerings 
ceased, and the chapter soon had the respect and friendship of all the stu¬ 
dents. The fraternity always had an admitted reputation for genuine good- 
fellowship ; but it had been one of the convictions of its founders that, 
without detracting from the pleasures incident to a fraternity, they could 
make it more literary in its purposes and more helpful to all its individual 
members. While it was their fundamental object to bring together young 
men of congenial tastes, and to unite them in the bonds of a true and endur¬ 
ing friendship, their chapter meetings were largely devoted to the encourage¬ 
ment of candid thought and individual literary merit. Their informal liter¬ 
ary programmes afforded rare occasions for the frank expression of 
individual opinion and the revelation of individual character ; and among 
the most interesting archives of the fraternity is a collection of poems,

essays, short stories and sketches read by Will Lockwood before the 
chapter. In 1857 the little circle was first broken by the hand of death. 
Samuel H. Clark died while a student in the University, and was followed 
to the grave at his home near Hamilton, Ohio, by the members of the 
chapter, who keenly felt his loss and who carved upon the marble of his 
tomb the White Cross of the fraternity he loved. 

And thus three years went by until the Summer of 1858. The attend¬ 
ance of the institution had begun to decline, and the fraternity could find 
among the new comers few who answered the high ideal of its founders. 
The membership in the classes of ’57 and ’58, was disproportionately large, 
and the departure of the latter class threatened to leave the chapter very 
weak. Lockwood became much disheartened, and resolved upon a heroic 
escape from its difficulties. To his chivalric mind it seemed far better that 
his own chapter should die, than that the standard of the fraternity should 
be lowered or its future be imperilled. He planned and executed the dis¬ 
solution of the chapter and the transfer of the reins of authority to the 
Gamma at Delaware. In the Summer of 1858, the Alpha died at the hands 
of its own members, a voluntary sacrifice to what they conceived to be the 
welfare of the fraternity it had founded. Lockwood’s apprehensions proved 
not to be mistaken. Few of the right sort of men were in the college after 
i860. After the war its struggles for existence grew gradually weaker, until 
its doors were closed in 1873. Since its reopening in 1885, Phi Delta 
Theta and Beta Theta Pi have reestablished their chapters; but its condi¬ 
tion has not warranted the revival of Sigma Chi. 

The rivals of ^ X at Miami have been Alpha Delta Phi (1835-73); 
Beta Theta Pi (1839) 1 Phi Delta Theta (1848); Delta Kappa Epsilon (1852- 
73) ; and Delta Upsilon (1868-73).

THE UNIVERSITY OF WOOSTER. 


The four Synods of the Presbyterian Church, in the State of Ohio, founded this institu¬ 
tion. The objects which they sought, and the spirit by which they were moved, are seen in 
the resolutions passed by the Board of Trustees at their first meeting. They are so em¬ 
phatic, that it is best to give them : 

“ Resolved ,—That we enter upon this work with the single purpose of glorifying God in 
“ promoting sanctified education, and thus furthering the interests of the church, and its 
“ extension over the whole earth. 

“ Resolved ,—That we will, in every way possible, strive to imbue all our operations with 
“ the spirit of Christianity, and bring religious influence and instruction to bear earnestly 
“ upon all who may be connected with the institution.” 

It was chartered in 1866. In that year, the people of Wooster, Ohio, and of the County 
of Wayne, of which it is the county-seat, offered $100,000 as a building fund, and twenty- 
one acres of land one mile north of Wooster, as a building site, on condition that $190,000 
be raised outside the County of Wayne as an endowment fund. This was accepted and done, 
and the erection of the buildings was begun in 1867. They were completed in 1869, and on 
the eighth day of September, 1870, the Collegiate Department was opened for students of 
both sexes, and upon equal terms. There were five professors and fifty-seven students dur¬ 
ing the first session. The Rev. Willis Lord, D.D., was its first President. In 1873 he 
resigned, and his place was taken by Rev. A. A. E. Taylor, D.D., who for ten years very 
successfully administered its affairs, each year seeing an increase in the number of students. 
In 1883, Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel, was placed at its head, and under his able management 
it continues to prosper. 

In 1872, a three years preparatory course was established. Medical, Musical, Post- 
Graduate, Ait and Business Departments have since been added. The Collegiate Depart¬ 
ment contains three courses of study : Classical, Philosophical and Literary. The first is the 
usual course of study, in which Greek and Latin is given special prominence; the second 
omits Greek, and has German in its stead ; and the third substitutes the modern for the 
ancient languages. Scientific students are allowed to select such studies as may specially 
qualify them for their expected line of work. In the Junior and Senior years five elective 
divisions are arranged. Each course covers four years. It may be said that the standard in 
each of these courses is equal to that of the best eastern institutions. The Medical Depart¬ 
ment is located at Cleveland, Ohio, has a corps of thirteen instructors, and is meeting with 
success. The Musical Department is under the management of Prof. Karl Merz, whose 
marked ability and untiring zeal has gained for it a reputation not excelled by that of any 
school of music in the State. He inspires his students with an enthusiastic devotion to their 
studies, and the large patronage which this department receives is owing to his successful 
work. In its Post-Graduate Department more than a hundred non-resident graduate students 
are pursuing courses of advanced study leading to appropriate degrees. The Art and Business 
Departments are affording opportunities to those seeking culture or training of that kind. 

A Gymnasium was erected in 1883. Athletics, however, are not specially prominent. 
Physical culture is attained by military drill. There are 750 students enrolled in its different 
departments. Exclusive of its Medical school, its income in 1884 was $21,429, and is now 
nearly $28,000. Its full endowment is being vigorously pushed, and its future has the promise 
of great usefulness. Strong support is given it by the Presbyterian Church throughout Ohio. 
The religious culture afforded is, as might be expected, very positive as over against the 
position taken by what are termed unsectarian schools. In the best sense it is a denomina¬ 
tional University, and in the broadest sense Christian. It seeks to carry out the resolutions 
passed by its first Board of Trustees as to the religious training of the youth entrusted to it. 
Presbyterians will find in it a school of their prophets, and non-Presbyterian Christians a 
safe place to educate their sons and daughters.

In the Fall of 1872, Wooster University was yet in its earliest infancy, 
having been founded only two years previously. The college was, however, 
already taking high rank as an educational institution, and was drawing 
within its doors some of the brightest young men in the Ohio Valley. 
Among the number came one from Hanover College, Indiana, James Matthew 
Simonton, now a Presbyterian clergyman of note. He entered the Sopho¬ 
more Class of the University, and soon took a high standing both in the 
college and among his fellow students. Of attractive personal appearance, 
genial, courteous and dignified, he made friends rapidly. Already a Sigma 
Chi, having been a member of Chi Chapter while at Hanover College, and 
enthusiastic in the faith, young Simonton soon determined to establish the 
White Cross in the young and growing University. He first broached the 
subject to two of his most intimate friends, David O. Ghormley and Orville 
S. Brumback, then freshmen in the college. They listened to his glowing 
accounts of the fraternity and of what might be accomplished, with some 
skepticism at first, but were finally persuaded to enter upon the project. 
These three, when once enlisted in a cause, might be depended upon to 
accomplish something, for each was zealous, persevering and enthusiastic 
in what he once undertook, and to these three may fairly be attributed the 
laying of the foundation of what has since proved to be one of the best 
chapters of the Sigma Chi. Encouraged by members of Chi Chapter, as 
well as by letters from Gamma, they entered with zeal upon the work of 
planting the White Cross in Wooster under the most trying circumstances. 

The year 1872 saw not to exceed seventy-five students in the University 
of Wooster, and yet four fraternities had already planted their standards in 
the college. Phi Kappa Psi had been established over a year, and numbered 
among her members the most talented young men in the institution. Par¬ 
ticularly was she strong in a society sense, having nearly all of the resident 
students of Wooster who were desirable for a chapter. Beta Theta Pi like¬ 
wise had obtained a firm foothold. Established during the last commence¬ 
ment, with her large membership of the studious element in the college, 
she formed the strongest antagonist to Phi Kappa Psi. Phi Delta Theta had 
just organized in the early part of the Fall session of ’72, and was strong in 
numbers and no mean antagonist to meet on the field of fraternity warfare. 
The fourth and last fraternity the young Sigma Chi Chapter had to meet 
was the Sigma Delta Pi, a distinctively scientific fraternity, imported to 
Wooster from Dartmouth College, where it was largely local. It also organ-

ized in the Fall session of 1872, about the same time as Phi Delta Theta, and 
although it did not long survive the sharp contest that arose after Sigma 
Chi got fairly under way, it was for two or three years an aggressive 
element in the fraternity world at Wooster. Well might Ghormley and 
Brumback hesitate and feel much misgiving about entering into a contest 
against such opponents with only lower-class men—one sophomore and two 
freshmen—and all the best elements in the student world either members or 
pledged to the opposition. Probably few chapters of Sigma Chi were ever 
established against such odds. But pluck, energy and enthusiasm can 
accomplish wonders ; and the young trio went bravely forward. 

The fourth man enlisted in the cause was another freshman, Mr. M. S. 
Miller, and one cold night in November, the four devotees quietly met in the 
room of Simonton, on Beall Avenue (a well known highway to Wooster 
men), and after a dainty little supper, provided and served by Bro. Simonton 
in his own inimitable way, the four young tyros proceeded thoroughly to 
discuss the business in hand. Each of the four had been invited to unite 
with the other fraternities, and it was agreed that the first matter of impor¬ 
tance was to secure confidence and loyalty among those engaged in the 
enterprise. Simonton doubtless foresaw many trials and tribulations in 
store for the little band, although even he did not then know the full measure 
of difficulty to be encountered, and thought to make the bond as strong as 
possible in the absence of any fraternity pledge. So it was that the follow¬ 
ing agreement was drawn up and signed by each one present: 

“Wooster, November 17, 1872. 

We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to unite heart and hand in the 
bonds of Sigma Chi. 

(Signed) J. M. Simonton. 

D. O. Ghormley. 

O. S. Brumback. 

M. S. Miller.” 

Truly a somewhat novel and sophomorical contract, considering the 
fact that it was very doubtful whether any charter would be granted to allow 
of a “union of heart and hand in the bonds of Sigma Chi.” But it served 
the purpose; and who will say it was not fraught with much interest to the 
hundred men who have since likewise “ united heart and hand ” in the Beta 
Chapter of the Sigma Chi ? A petition for a charter was duly prepared and 
forwarded on December first to the Gamma Chapter at Delaware, Ohio, with 
urgent appeals for speedy action in the matter. It was necessary, however, to 
communicate with each chapter, and obtain a majority vote of all the chapters 
before the charter could be granted. Days lengthened into weeks and weeks 
into months, before any answer was vouchsafed to the anxious petitioners. 
In the meantime, the Christmas vacation came and went, and Mr.

Miller, owing to a death in his father’s family, failed to return to college. 
The secret that the attempt was being made to establish Sigma Chi, leaked 
out, and every effort was made by the older fraternities to break down the 
enterprise. The friends of both Ghormley and Brumback came to them 
and sought to persuade them of the fool-hardiness of the attempt, that they 
could join the fraternities already established, and that it was simply bring¬ 
ing the ridicule of the college and town upon them to persist in undertaking 
to organize a new fraternity with one sophomore and two freshmen. Indeed 
so potent were the influences brought to bear upon them, that it was often 
with quaking spirits and sick hearts that they contemplated the outlook. It 
was only their obligations and Simonton’s encouraging assurances that kept 
them firm in their determination. The long delay of an answer to their 
petition was also a great source of discouragement, and Beta Chapter, like 
many others, under the old system of government, well nigh stranded upon 
the shores of inaction. But Simonton’s appeals for yet a little longer 
trial, together with encouraging letters from Gamma, and another element of 
hope that came in the darkest hour of trouble, kept the little band together. 

That other element of encouragement was the appearance of Lee B. 
Durstine upon the field. Shortly after the opening of the winter session 
he entered the Senior Preparatory Department, auxiliary to the University, 
and immediately became a bone of contention among the various fraterni¬ 
ties. Of good family, fine personal appearance, and withal a good student 
and genial companion, he was one of whom any fraternity might well be 
proud. The little band of three early fixed upon him as one with whom 
they would be happy to associate and share the fruits of their endeavor. It 
would prove most entertaining reading to relate all the efforts and resorts 
employed to capture Bro. Durstine and enrol him among the Greeks, but 
suffice it to say that the decision was finally obtained in favor of Sigma Chi, 
and right royally did he enter into the project and repay the sleepless nighty 
spent to enlist him in the new fraternity. After hie came in things took on 
a brighter hue, and with his valuable aid and counsel success appeared 
nearer at hand. Largely through his instrumentality one of his classmates 
was added to the little syndicate, W. E. Pricer, now a prominent physician 
in southern Ohio, and he too lent valuable aid in the struggle for a place 
for Sigma Chi in Wooster. 

Not long after Pricer came in, the joyful news was received from 
Delaware that, “at last,” the long expected charter had been granted. On the 
evening of March 2, 1873, Oscar B. Dunn, of Gamma Chapter, arrived 
in Wooster with the charter, and he, aided by Simonton, duly initiated 
each of the four neophites, and they became in fact, as well as in spirit, 
“ united heart and hand in the bonds of Sigma Chi.” The banquet which 
followed at Faber’s Hall was not the last which the place witnessed in 
honor of that natal day of Beta. Nor was it any discredit upon the many

that followed after. Though the number was small, the “ feast of reason and 
the flow of soul” were only equalled by the flow of toasts to “ The Future 
Chapter of the University of Woosterf and the demolition of the many 
good things provided in abundance. 

All hardships were now by no means over, but only fairly begun; for 
the chapter had yet to win a place in the college in the midst of its jealous 
rivals. All efforts to break down the new chapter by means of argument and 
persuasion having failed, ridicule, by common agreement, was now resorted to. 
The other fraternities having the best men in the upper classes, and Sigma 
Chi none, the fact was made much of, and loud were the jeers at the “ Prep. 
Fraternity.” Other terms of opprobrium were multiplied without number, 
but Beta was made of the right material, and the more opposition was 
offered the more was aroused the determination to make Sigma Chi facile 
princeps in Wooster. How well that result has been attained, let Beta’s 
history attest. 

Before the close of the year one new member, J. W. Hunter, was 
initiated, and during the year following seven names were added to the roll. 
Meetings were held at the rooms of the members until April, 1874, when 
arrangements were made to rent a hall in partnership with Beta Theta Pi. 
The year following a similar arrangement was made to obtain the Redmen’s 
Hall, and there the men of Beta continued to meet for nearly three years, 
other fraternities occupying the hall upon different evenings. This continued 
until the spring of 1878, when some mischievous Greeks pried open the box 
containing the Redmen’s secrets, and all were henceforth excluded from the 
hall. Some members having graduated and others having departed, the 
succeeding Fall found only four men upon the ground to battle for the cause 
of Beta. By active exertions the membership was increased before the 
close of the year to fourteen, and the annual membership has but once since 
failed to exceed that number. The chapter met for a number of years 
previous to January, 1885, in a neatly furnished hall facing the public 
square. At this date the chapter experienced the novel and inconvenient 
necessity of an exodus on account of fire, but with its usual pluck and 
enterprise soon arose from the ashes, and now possesses a suite of rooms 
and a hall upon the main street, second to none in Wooster for complete¬ 
ness and elegance of furniture. 

The chapter has always borne the marks of its early struggle for exist¬ 
ence —it has been sturdy and independent, and had that honor and fame 
that from no condition rise. In its choice of members it has been apt to 
look always for the character that should combine a fine, hearty manhood 
with intellectual alertness and power. Socially, the chapter has always stood 
high, and the fraternal influences have always been strongly emphasized. 
To its moral atmosphere and its influence upon character, the testimony of 
its members to whom soberer years have come, and of those whose cloth has 


i8 


THE BETA. 


made them careful of their words, is strikingly unanimous and furnishes 
the most satisfactory proof. In all the activities of undergraduate life at 
Wooster, Beta has furnished most of the leaders. Its record on the Collegian 
and the Voice , the two University papers, is an illustration of its push and 
vim ; while the honor roll of the literary societies and the college, the list of 
officers of the battalion and the records*of athletic events attest its success 
in every field, save one, where “ Greek ” meets “ Greek.” As to that other 
field of contest, it may in modesty be said, that seldom indeed has the chapter 
failed to initiate a man whom it has invited to join. The fraternity has 
long considered it one of its best chapters, and the chapter, in turn, has 
been enthusiastically devoted to the fraternity. It was under the editorship 
of Beta that the “ Sigma Chi Song Book ” was published in 1884, and several 
of its members have filled with credit important executive offices of the fra¬ 
ternity. A “Sigma Chi Waltz ” has also been composed and published by 
one of its members, the distinguished musician Prof. Karl Merz. 

Sigma Chi here meets the fraternities of Phi Kappa Psi (1871), Beta 
Theta Pi (1872), Phi Delta Theta (1872), Kappa Alpha Theta (1875), Kappa 
Kappa Gamma (1875), Delta Tau Delta (1880), Phi Gamma Delta (1882), 
and Alpha Tau Omega (1889).

OHIO WESLEYAN University. 


Twenty-three miles north of Columbus, Ohio, is the town of Delaware, noted for its 
healthfulness and the culture of its people, about eight thousand in number. It is the seat 
of the Ohio Wesleyan University. Under the auspices of the Methodist Conferences of Ohio 
and West Virginia, it was organized in 1844, a charter having been granted the year before. 
It is strictly denominational as to control, and receives the full and hearty support of the 
Methodist Society within the bounds of Ohio and West Virginia. Religious culture is made 
prominent. It is intended to be a school where Christian methods of work and culture shall 
abound. Large numbers of its graduates enter the Methodist ministry. It is believed to 
have a larger number of students in attendance than any other school controlled by that 
religious body in this or any other land. 

The studies are arranged and classified under four different Departments, as follows: 
Collegiate, Academic, Music, and Art. The Collegiate is subdivided into three courses, 
Classical, Scientific, and Literary, each extending over four years and ending in a degree. 
The studies in these courses are largely prescribed, but there are several courses arranged in 
which the studies are mostly elective. The Academic Department is subdivided into (1) the 
Preparatory Collegiate, intended to prepare students for the regular college classes ; (2) the 
Normal, intended especially for those expecting to engage in teaching; and (3) the Com¬ 
mercial, wherein is taught the branches most useful for those engaging in commercial pur¬ 
suits. The Preparatory and Normal studies require three years, and the Commercial two, 
for their completion. The Conservatory of Music receives a large patronage, which it fully 
merits. The advantages in this department are exceptionally good. The Department of 
Art covers drawing, painting in all its phases, wood carving, etc. The needful accessories in 
the way of models, casts, and studio, have all been well provided. 

Co-education in all the different departments is had, and the advantages attending the 
commingling of both sexes under wise arrangements are made apparent. Monnett Hall, the 
largest building belonging to the University, and the most costly in construction, is the home 
in which the young ladies reside. It stands surrounded by a campus of ten acres. In it, 
also, are recitation rooms, the art studio, music rooms, society halls, library and reading room. 
It is admirably adapted to its intended uses. 

The college campus proper contains some thirty acres, and has an arboretum consisting 
of several hundred varieties. On thQ grounds is a fine sulphur spring with an abundant 
flow. The college library has 13,786 volumes. The museum embraces the Prescott cabinet 
of Biology ; the Mann cabinet of Palaeontology ; the Wood cabinet of casts and fossils ; and 
the Merrick Trimble cabinet of Mineralogy. The buildings, grounds and apparatus are 
valued at $230,000, and the productive endowment is $250,000. The income from endow¬ 
ment funds is about $15,000, and from tuition fees about $20,000. 

It has a corps of twenty-eight instructors in all departments, and an enrollment of over 
950 pupils. Of these seven-eighths are from Ohio. It is claimed by its friends that there is 
no institution of equally high grade where a liberal education can be secured at so moderate 
an expense. Four Presidents have been at its head during its forty years of work. Rev. 
Edward Thomson, D.D., 1846-60; Rev. Frederick Merrick, D.D., from i860 to 1875 ; Rev. 
Lorenzo D. McCabe, D.D., LL.D., from 1873 to 1876 ; Rev. Charles H. Payne, D.D., LL.D., 
from 1876 to 1888. Dr. L. D. McCabe, the Vice-President, is now acting as temporary 
President. At no time has the outlook been brighter than at the present.

THE GAMMA. 


THE GAMMA. 


Such has been the important and peculiar position occupied by the 
Gamma Chapter, that its history is almost inextricably interwoven with that 
of the fraternity itself. It was in the autumn of 1855, when the fraternity 
was a sturdy infant but a few months old, that a correspondence was begun 
with what was called the “ Sigma Phi ” fraternity, at Miami University, in 
reference to establishing a chapter at the Ohio Wesleyan University at 
Delaware, Ohio. The Miami chapter was the only one then in existence, 
and the advantages of securing the co-operation of a chapter at a flourish¬ 
ing institution close at hand were promptly recognized. Investigation fully 
established the personal qualifications of the petitioners, and on Christmas 
Eve, 1855, Lockwood, Runkle, Caldwell, and other members of Alpha, came 
up from Oxford, and, at the “ American House,” in Delaware, conducted the 
installation ceremonies of the second chapter of the fraternity. It was a proud 
Christmas that heralded the advent of the first child of that brave little band 
at Oxford, and gave the first assurance of the permanence of the society it 
had founded. 

The Gamma, for thus it was called in order to create the impression of 
a larger chapter roll, began its career with every assurance of prosperity. 
Nine members were initiated on that Christmas Eve, and Ben F. Barger was 
almost immediately added to the number; so that the old charter bears the 
following ten names in the order given: George O. Newman, Charles Rey¬ 
nolds, Marshall B. Clayson, James Watson, Wilson C. Lemert, Benjamin B. 
Walker, William Parrott, H. Eugene Parrott, Thomas B. Stevenson, and 
Benjamin F. Barger. These men were not only closely bound to each other 
by that fraternal fellowship which ever after conspicuously marked the chap¬ 
ter, but they were thoroughly alive to the opportunities for mutual helpful¬ 
ness which their chapter life afforded. The very night of its installation the 
chapter adopted the same interesting literary features which had been proven 
so successful by the Alpha. Original poems and fictitious narratives, with 
other novel methods of encouraging true literary merit and individuality, 
were found not only beneficial to their writers, but also interesting to those 
before whom they were read. The minutes of the chapter, the first volume 
of which closes April 7, 1863, contains scarcely a record of a meeting with¬ 
out its regular literary programme ; and the only breaks in the well-kept 
records are those which note the transactions of early conventions and 
repeat in full the petitions for charters. The meetings were first held on 



OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.

William Street, nearly opposite the M. E. Church, at the rooms of one of the 
members, where several initiations took place, which are said to have been 
startling and spectacular in their character. Later the chapter met at the 
rooms of members in the Williams Block, changing here and there; but 
upon these occasions, although it was the era of small things, genius and 
good fellowship, literature and love, clasped hands trustingly, and were 
happy. 

The first annual celebration of Gamma was held Christmas Eve, 1856, 
at the rural resort of Johnny Detwiller, of cherished memory, on the banks 
of the Scioto River, about eight miles from Delaware. It was a learned and 
festal scene, worthy of more ancient Greeks in their palmiest days. During 
the evening some wicked wights of the country round about, basely drew 
the linch pins from the vehicles; and at a late hour, when but a short dis¬ 
tance upon their journey, the jolly feasters were dumped out to trudge 
afoot to their academic home. The following year the anniversary was 
very quietly observed; but on Christmas Eve, 1858, the celebration again 
occurred at Detwiller’s. There was a large attendance, the alumni members 
being well represented; and “Johnny’s” table, adorned with young roast 
pigs, stuffed turkeys and baked fowl, was surrounded by as brilliant, witty 
and gay a company as is wont to gather round a festal board. The next two 
anniversary reunions, in 1859 an d i860, were held at the American House. 
That of the latter year was quite a brilliant affair—the ladies, for the first 
time, gracing the occasion with their presence ; and rich toasts and care¬ 
fully written “ impromptu ” responses gave to it the sparkle of their wit. 

In June, 1858, seven members were graduated; all of the charter mem¬ 
bers, except H. C. Parrott, had left the University, and the following college 
session opened darkly for the Sigma Chi. Nof only was Gamma reduced 
to five members, to wit: H. E. Parrott, John McCauley, Henry Markey, 
Thomas E. Powell and James F. Newman, but it could get no word 
from the parent chapter at Oxford. After weeks of correspondence and 
anxious waiting, a letter from Will Lockwood, of New York, brought the 
depressing news that Alpha had been disbanded at the close of the previous 
college year, and that not a vestige remained at Miami upon which to 
build. The chapter which it had been attempted to found at Nashville, 
Tenn., had also perished, and but two other chapters remained, the Eta at 
the University of Mississippi, and Iota at Jefferson College, Pennsylvania. 
In this dilemma the Delaware chapter, by reason of its seniority, its prox¬ 
imity to the original fountain of authority, and, above all, the ability and 
enthusiasm of its members, succeeded by mutual consent to the leadership 
of the fraternity, a trust to which it proved fully equal. The chapter had 
no hall as yet, and the majority of its members were comparatively young 
and inexperienced; but these disadvantages render only the more remark¬ 
able the success that attended them in their efforts. It was the great good 


32 


THE GAMMA. 


fortune of the fraternity in this crisis of its history, that Gamma contained 
such men as Newman and Powell and their associates have proved them¬ 
selves, both then and since, to be. The ability and energy displayed during 
that fall and winter were phenomenal. Halsey returned, and a number of 
most valuable additions were made. A correspondence with the scattered 
members of the defunct parent chapter was started. Its fate, which had 
been obscure, was fully ascertained; and the work of gathering together 
the seals and records of the fraternity began. It was a more difficult task 
than might be supposed. Frank Baker, one of the most active and devoted 
members Gamma ever had, was sent on an expedition, during the winter 
vacation, to the homes of some of the leading Oxford members, at Urbana 
and other points, to gather up the grand seal, stamps and symbols of 
authority; so that the work of the fraternity, which had been seriously 
retarded, could be properly prosecuted. He was, in a large measure, suc¬ 
cessful, and the work of establishing new chapters was vigorously but 
discreetly pushed. The hegemony thus acquired was jealously preserved by 
the chapter, and so well did its members use, for the advancement of the 
fraternity, the powers thus informally conferred upon it, that in 1870 the 
Grand Chapter formally confirmed and ratified its leadership and adopted 
a constitution which gave to the Delaware chapter the title of “ The Alpha.” 

From 1858 to 1861 the chapter grew in numbers and strength, fourteen 
members at one time answering to the roll. In the spring of i860, a com¬ 
modious room in the Williams Block was furnished, making a pleasant and 
retired hall, which was the sacred precinct where the faithful gathered 
for many years. The struggles and self-denials required to furnish that hall 
are known only to the martyred few, faithful but oft-times impecunious, 
who “ stripped ” themselves for the task. During subsequent years many 
hundreds of dollars were spent on the elegant apartments, which were 
furnished to meet every requirement of the chapter. 

The outbreak of the war found the attendance of the college very much 
depleted and many of the sons of Gamma pushing to the front among the 
earliest volunteers of the Union army. Nevertheless the chapter retained a 
good membership and strengthened its prestige. In 1868 it acquired a 
commanding influence in the University by the absorption of the local 
chapter of Alpha Digamma, a fraternity of high rank in the college. Eleven 
of its sixteen members were initiated and became very influential in the 
chapter. They were men of fine scholarship and strong character, and 
strengthened the fraternity in many ways. It was at the height of this 
prosperity that the faculty, in 1870, passed stringent laws forbidding all new 
students to enter the fraternities. Before this date, however, five fraternities 
had established chapters in the institution, and by their combined efforts the 
hostile legislation was repealed in 1872, although not until the fierce antag¬ 
onism had reduced the membership of Gamma to three men. The chap-

ter put forth tremendous effort, and by the close of the succeeding year 
had an excellent membership of twelve, one of whom was president of the 
Lecture Association, the chief honor of the college, the annual receipts of 
the organization approximating $3,000, a large sum in those days. 

The old custom of holding annual reunions had always been retained. 
On these occasions it had been the rule to have an oration and a poem by 
alumni members, and a number of these addresses have been published. At 
about this period, the literary reunions gave place to a programme of a more 
social nature, to which the lady friends of the order were invited. These 
receptions were sometimes given at the elegant rooms of the chapter, the 
pride of the members; and on other occasions, at the various neighboring 
pleasure resorts. They gave the name of the fraternity much social popu¬ 
larity. There was no system of honors in the University,—no prize-medals 
or beneficiary positions ; but, while the chapter did not seek “ digs,” the 
standard of scholarship was excellent. 

In 1873, ’74 and ’75 the University was without a president; and the 
panic of ’73 probably had additional influence in reducing the attendance 
of the class of men who were thought suitable for the fraternity. It was 
thus that 1876 saw the membership again reduced to three ; but it was soon 
increased to eight, and in 1879 was thirteen. During these years the Chap¬ 
ter was exceedingly prosperous, and in 1879 it gave a famous banquet at 
Greenwood Lake, a neighboring summer resort, which was attended by a 
large number of prominent alumni. It was the most successful event of the 
kind ever held at O. W. U., and has, indeed, never been approached, either 
before or since. However, under the regime which had been inaugurated 
several years before, there was a great deal of friction between the frater¬ 
nities and the university authorities, in which Sigma Chi seems to have 
borne the brunt of the conflict. The new president was as openly hostile 
as he thought expedient, and many things occurred to fan his enmity. 
He was easily provoked by college pranks and breaches of his some¬ 
what Puritanic discipline; and the boys of Sigma Chi were frequently 
the object of his especial displeasure. In 1876 the Junior Class were 
to publish an annual, The Bijou , and two “ Sigs ” were on the board of 
editors. The faculty, through some mistaken busy-body, heard that the 
professors were to be caricatured, and demanded to see the proof sheets. 
They were told that there was nothing derogatory to them in the manu¬ 
script, and that as the editors would be responsible for the contents, 
they declined to submit the book for inspection. Expulsion was threat¬ 
ened, whereupon the editors resigned; the entire class was elected on 
the editorial board —and was promptly suspended from college. One 
member, a Sigma Chi, had escaped expulsion by a temporary absence, but 
on his return he demanded to be included with his class-mates, although 
the faculty would gladly have allowed him to escape. During the suspen- 


34 


THE GAMMA. 


sion, which lasted about two weeks, the annual appeared. It proved not to 
contain a single objectionable feature, and the class was soon reinstated. 
The shearing and painting of the president’s horse, and the mysterious 
theft of all the text-books on logic were also attributed to members of 
Sigma Chi; and it was rumored that the president was arranging for the 
re-enactment of the anti-fraternity laws of 1870. This strained condition of 
affairs continued down to 1884, when the faculty reached a climax of exasper¬ 
ation, on discovering that the three members of Sigma Chi had “ borrowed ” 
the college electrical machine to add to the terrors of a contemplated 
initiation. The result, for a time, was excitement and confusion. The 
men were suspended, then reinstated, and finally expelled, while the anti¬ 
fraternity element in the faculty seized the opportunity to pass a resolution 
suspending the chapter from the privileges of the institution. This resolu¬ 
tion was an act of the grossest injustice, and influential authorities of the 
college hastened to assure the alumni of the chapter and the officers of the 
fraternity, that the action was directed solely against the late offending 
members. Criticism of the faculty, however, was very bitter, and was not 
allayed by their admission that the history of the chapter had been one of 
unusual excellence, and that its membership and work had borne the 
highest character, and had received their fullest approval, at least until the 
years immediately preceding its suspension. A Sigma Chi had endowed 
the “ Parrott Chair of Mathematics,” and Sigma Chi had furnished a very 
large percentage of the prominent and influential alumni of the institution, 
whose warm personal interest in the college and fraternity, made most pain¬ 
fully apparent the inexpediency and injustice of the resolution. Both they, 
and the fraternity as a body, were too indignant to consider the question of 
re-establishment, in spite of the intimations of the faculty that such a move¬ 
ment would be received with favor. 

For several years the chapter was allowed to remain unorganized, 
although a number of efforts were made to obtain a charter. During the 
session of 1886-7, petitions from two separate bodies of under-graduates 
were placed before the Grand Council at the same time. The faculty 
formally notified these petitioning students, that all restrictions on the 
reorganization of the chapter were entirely rescinded ; and their respective 
claims were vigorously pushed. Mr. W. L. Fisher, the executive officer of 
the fraternity, was delegated by the Grand Council to investigate the 
situation. Accompanied by members of Alpha Gamma and Mu, he made 
a personal visit to Delaware, and, upon full investigation, reported adversely 
to both petitions, in which report the Council fully concurred. One or 
two men from each of these sets of petitioners, however, had learned in 
the course of this investigation, what were the elements of strength and 
what the character of the men, which would be insisted upon in any 
reorganization of the chapter. They were attracted, rather than discour-

aged, by the high standard required ; and the following year a new petition 
was presented by a small body of men, whom they had succeeded in unit¬ 
ing for this purpose. Mr. Fisher again visited Delaware, and this time a 
favorable report was presented on his return to the governmental headquar¬ 
ters at Chicago. A new charter was granted, and on the first day of March, 
1888, Sigma Chi was re-established at Delaware, under the historic title 
of the Gamma. The significance of the title, Alpha, had wholly ceased in 
1882, when the governmental powers had been wisely taken from the 
hands of under-graduate members, and conferred upon the Grand Council. 
The ceremonies of the re-establishment were conducted by Hon. O. S. 
Brumback, then Grand Consul, assisted by a large delegation of Alpha 
Gamma men and Delaware alumni. The following evening, the chapter 
was given quite an ovation at a Pan-Hellenic banquet of all the fraternities 
represented in the college, while faculty and “Barbarians” joined in con¬ 
gratulations and expressions of confidence in its future. The charter mem¬ 
bers were : Clifford G. Ballou, Thomas J. Hughes, Robert L. Holland, 
James C. Criswell, and Albert C. Davis. During the various investigations 
conducted by Grand Tribune Fisher, the faculty were exceedingly kind, 
several of the professors offering valuable assistance in arriving at a correct 
estimate of the petitioners. The gentleman who was president at the date 
of the suspension of the chapter, is no longer connected with the Univer¬ 
sity—and the most cordial relations again exist. Two prominent members 
of the Board of Trustees are members of Sigma Chi. The chapter is making 
an excellent record, and has been quite successful. Its members live together 
in the nearest approach to a chapter-house which the rules of the institution 
will permit. The old furniture, bearing the insignia of the order, has been 
replaced in the meeting rooms, and valuable additions are being made. 
Enjoying the respect and good wishes of all its rivals, Sigma Chi may con¬ 
gratulate herself upon the speedy restoration of her old-time prestige at 
O. W. U. 

The following fraternities have been established at the Ohio Wesleyan 
University : Beta Theta Pi (1853) ; Phi Delta Theta (i860) ; Phi Kappa 
Psi (1861); Delta Tau Delta (1868); Phi Gamma Delta (1869) ; Chi Phi 
(1873) ; Alpha Tau Omega (1887); Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1888).

THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. 


The Legislature of Georgia in 1784 reserved 40,000 acres of land lying in the Counties- 
of Washington and Franklin, and conveyed them, in trust, to the Governor and certain other 
persons, for the endowment of a college or seminary of learning. This was the seed-grain 
from which this University grew. A charter was granted in 1785, but the University did 
not have any existence, except on paper, for sixteen years afterwards. When John Milledge 
was Governor, he donated to the Trustees named in the charter, 640 acres as a site for the 
institution. The University buildings were erected thereon, and the city of Athens has since 
been built upon it. The University opened for students about 1801. 

At the beginning, the lands given by the State were rented, and the rental used to sustain 
the University. Experience soon proved that, as things existed in that day, in a thin and 
sparsely settled country, the rental of wild lands was not profitable. Some of them were 
accordingly disposed of in fee, and the proceeds used to maintain the school. The absorption of 
the principal of its land endowment was seen to be unwise, and finally the lands remaining of 
those given by the State were sold. The result was a fund of $100,000 which the State received, 
and agreed to pay therefor an annuity of $8,000. Donations to the amount of $81,000 have 
since been made by the State, most of which has been expended in buildings. In 1854 Dr. 
William Terrell bequeathed $20,000 to the University. The City of Athens gave it $25,000 
in 1873, and Ex-Governor J. E. Brown gave $50,000 as a scholarship fund in 1881. The late 
Governor G. R. Gilmer gave it $15,000, and it has also received other donations. Good 
management has increased these funds. The real estate, buildings and apparatus are valued 
at $200,000, and the endowment fund is $445,202. The library has 20,000 volumes and 
a building of its own. 

The University consists of an Academic department, a State College department and a 
Law department, all at the ancient site in Athens, of a Medical department at Augusta, and 
of four branch Colleges of Agriculture at Dahlonega, ’Thomasville, Cuthbert and Milledge- 
ville. In the College at Milledgeville, opened in 1880, military exercises form a part of the 
course of instruction. The Medical school, at Augusta, dates from 1830, but became a part 
of the University in 1873. In 1885 its graduates numbered 1,607, many of whom have 
become prominent in their professions. The Academic department at Athens, provides three 
courses of study,—a Classical, a Scientific and a Literary, each extending over four years. 
This department sent forth its first graduates in 1804. At first its growth was slow ; from 
1804 to 1824 only 77 names appear on the list of alumni. From 1824 to 1844 its growth was 
more encouraging, and 308 names were added. During the next forty years, the sum total 
was brought up to 2,003. It is rather remarkable that of this large number of Academic 
students only 137 entered the ministry, although for the last seventy-eight years its presi¬ 
dents have been clergymen. The catalogue for 1888 shows that 193 students attended the 
Academic, 21 the Law, 150 the Medical and 250 the Agricultural department; a total of 614 
in all collegiate departments. In addition, there were in the preparatory departments 493; in 
all, 1,107 students. 

The University has the highest rank of any educational institution in the State. It will 
no doubt keep pace with the growth of the State, and be able largely to meet its educational 
needs. Its field is wide and almost unoccupied by competing schools. Its standing among 
the people is all that it could desire. No other institution within the State is received with- 
equal favor.

THE DELTA. 


THE DELTA. 


The life of the Delta was brief, but not inglorious. In 1872, Thomas 
W. White, now a successful attorney at Hernando, Mississippi, was a student 
in the University of Georgia. Through his cousin, Hon. George B. Peters, 
of Memphis, Tenn., he became interested in the Sigma Chi Fraternity, of 
which Peters was already a member. The University of Georgia was then 
one of the prominent institutions of the South, and young Peters soon 
induced his cousin to attempt the establishment of a chapter. Mr. A. A. 
Lipscomb, formerly of the Epsilon at Washington, but at this time a student 
in the law class of the University, was enlisted in the project, and on the 
3 th of November, 1872, a charter was granted to the following members : 
R. B. Barnes, W. C. Bibb, H. H. Collier, W. L. Ison, J. L. Johnson, J. R. 
Locket and Thomas W. White. The installation ceremonies were conducted 
by Mr. Lipscomb, and the chapter was started with flying colors. Its charter 
members were men of fine social and class standing, and the Delta was soon 
a recognized power in the institution. During the following two years it 
increased in numbers and strength, but wisely insisted upon a critical stand¬ 
ard of membership—never numbering more than ten membfers at one time. 
These two years were years of a most intense rivalry between the half dozen 
fraternities then established in the University; and politics ran high in the 
literary societies and other organizations. In these contests, and in the 
honors of the class-room, Sigma Chi more than held her own against her 
older rivals. The Faculty and Trustees, however, greatly magnified the 
•evils of the struggle for the college honors, which they attributed wholly to 
the existence of the fraternities; and in 1875 stringent anti-fraternity laws 
were passed. For a short time these laws were rigidly enforced; but it 
was not long before the University authorities recognized that political 
cliques and the struggle for undergraduate honors in no way depended 
upon the fraternities, and could not be avoided by their abolition. They 
were soon convinced that the influence of the fraternities was, upon the 
whole, greatly for good, and in a short time the restrictions were entirely 
removed. In the meantime, however, the members of Delta, who had 
been largely in the higher classes, had either graduated or left the Uni¬ 
versity. Not one remained to revive the chapter, and no effort to re-estab¬ 
lish it has ever been made. The institution apparently contains all the 
fraternities it can well support, as the following list sufficiently attests: 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1866); Chi Phi (1867); Phi Delta Theta (1871); 
Kappa Alpha (1872); Phi Gamma Delta (1872-4); Alpha Tau Omega 
<1878); Delta Tau Delta (1882); Phi Kappa Psi (1883), and Sigma Nu.

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY. 


By Act of Congress in 1821, a charter was given to what was therein called, “The 
Columbian College in the District of Columbia.” This charter was the outcome of an effort 
made by Rev. Luther Rice, a Baptist Clergyman, in 1819, to establish a college. In the Act 
passed by Congress, special care was taken that no sectarian tests should be applied to its 
Trustees, President, Professors or Students. Its first President was Rev. William Staughton, 
D.D. He was succeeded in 1828 by Rev. Stephen Chapin, D.D., whose wise administration 
of its affairs greatly improved its financial condition. He reigned for fifteen years. Rev. 
Joel S. Bacon, D.D., took the Presidency in 1843, and resigned in 1855. Rev. Joseph G. 
Binney and Rev. George W. Sampson, D.D., followed in order named. In 1871, a layman, 
James C. Welling, LL.D., was chosen to guide its affairs. The wisdom of this choice has 
been made apparent by what has followed. In the charter it was specified that it was granted 
for “ a college for the sole and exclusive purpose of educating youth in the English, learned 
and foreign languages, the liberal arts, sciences and literature,” and this mission it has very 
largely accomplished under his management. To him, at least more largely than to any 
other, is due its present prosperity. Its early years were mostly years of uncertainty as to its 
success. Financial embarrassments were not unfrequent. John Quincy Adams made it a 
gift of $7,000 at a time when it greatly needed it. In 1832 Cpngress made it a grant of Wash¬ 
ington City lots, but they have not as yet proved productive. It struggled through all its 
financial troubles, and finally found a benefactor in Hon. W. W. Corcoran, LL.D. He made 
it a gift of money and the Trinidad Estate, which laid the foundation of the “ Corcoran En¬ 
dowment.” A condition connected with this gift requires that the additional sum of 
$100,000 should be secured, which was done. Afterwards he gave $30,000 towards the pur¬ 
chase of the site for a new University building. This has since been erected, and is on the 
south-east corner of H and Fifteenth Streets. This building is four stories high, has a front¬ 
age of 121 feet on Fifteenth street, and 64 x / z on H street, with an annex on the south of 156 
feet. It is thoroughly appointed. The Medical College building is also a gift from Mr. 
Corcoran. In grateful recollection of his many benefactions, the School of Science connected 
with the University is called “ The Corcoran Scientific School.” 

By an Act of Congress in 1873, the name of the college was changed to “The Columbian 
University .” It had to a large degree become entitled to the change, for it had its schools of 
Law and Medicine, as well as of Literature and Arts. The Medical school was founded 
almost as early as the college itself, and the Law School was organized in 1826. Among the 
faculty of the Medical School have been men eminent in the profession, and many of the 
students have attained prominence as professors in other schools, and as practitioners. The 
Law School has always ranked among the foremost schools of its class. Its alumni number 
over one thousand, and are found in every State and Territory of the Union. 

The value of the buildings and apparatus of the University is about $300,000. The en¬ 
dowment produces an annual income of over $50,000, and its total annual income is nearly, 
if not fully, $60,000. It supports a corps of thirty-five instructors in its different schools. 
The number of students in attendance is about 500. It can be said that its later years have 
been prosperous ones, and that its future gives promise of increased usefulness. Situated at 
the Nation’s Capital it will meet the needs of the many youths who make there either a tem¬ 
porary or a permanent home.

THE EPSILON. 


THE EPSILON. 


Prior to June io, 1864, but one fraternity had been established at the 
Columbian University. This was Sigma Alpha Epsilon, whose brief career 
of two years was abruptly closed by the outbreak of the Civil War, which 
naturally made the atmosphere of the national capital unfriendly to 
an organization distinctively southern. During the war the attendance of the 
institution, then known as Columbian College, was not large and was some¬ 
what heterogeneous in character ; but among its students there seems always 
to have been a group of young fellows, drawn largely, although not entirely, 
from the city of Washington, to whom the Greek-letter fraternity presented 
unusual attractions. In the spring of 1864 a number of these men joined in 
a petition to Sigma Chi. They were men of excellent social standing and 
personal character, and a charter was granted. The Pennsylvania chapters 
were actively interested in the matter and a delegation, consisting of Michael 
Colver, Philip M. Bikle and Henry L. Ziegenfuss, from the Theta, and John 
W. Custis from Kappa, was sent to establish the chapter. On Friday, June 
10, 1864, at the old Law Building of the University, on Fifth street, near the 
City Hall, the installation ceremonies were held. Henry J. Handy, Thomas 
S. Samson, Reginald Fendall, Thomas J. Miller, William F. C. Morsell, 
Robert Farnham, Joseph T. Clark and J. Abbott Moore, were the charter 
members ; and Fendall was elected as the first presiding officer of Epsilon. 
Custis had formerly been a student at Columbian, and after the initiatory 
ceremonies he announced that, as he intended to return to the University 
the following year, he would date his connection with the new chapter from 
that day. The fraternity rightly chose such men as Prof. Bikle, Dr. Ziegenfuss 
and poor Custis, whose sad death, after his loss of reason, cut short a career 
already brilliant, to initiate those first members of the Epsilon. They were 
capital fellows and loyal sons of Sigma Chi. Within two weeks from the 
founding of the chapter, five of the eight, Samson, Fendall, Miller, Farnham 
and Moore, graduated from the University, but their active interest in the 
fraternity has not yet ceased. Indeed, persistent loyalty under the most dis¬ 
heartening circumstances has always been the distinguishing characteristic 
of the chapter. Whether due to the proverbial ill luck of that natal Friday 
or to whatever else, the life of the Epsilon has been strikingly checkered. 
Until 1869 it flourished famously. Its meetings had an average attendance 
of at least a dozen, and it was prominent in the councils and activities of 
the order. At the convention held at Pittsburg in 1864, the two delegates 
representing the chapter were S. H. Walker and Reginald Fendall, the latter 
being chosen to one of the most important offices of the convention. In 
1866 the Epsilon Chapter entertained the celebrated- Washington Conven-

tion, which brought together for the first time after the war the representa¬ 
tives of the northern and the southern colleges, which reunited the broken 
bond of fraternity and started Sigma Chi anew upon a career of success and 
prosperity. During this convention the Rev. Dr. Keeling was initiated as a 
member of the chapter, and for several years he manifested the liveliest inter¬ 
est in the welfare of Sigma Chi, conducting quite an active correspondence 
with several members of the Washington chapter. Owing to Epsilon’s 
efforts the convention was a great success, and contributed very largely to 
the subsequent advancement of the fraternity. 

On the first of May, 1868, the chapter held a noteworthy banquet, at 
which George G. Coffin presided, and A. B. Duvall was the orator. Some 
thirty members sat around the table, among whom were Joseph M. Dufour 
and Charles C. Murray, of Lambda, Henry C. Ray, of Rho, and “ Private” 
Dalzell, of the Washington Nu. Epsilon was sleek, fat and unsuspecting, 
when, in 1869, an enterprising tutor, who was a member of a rival fraternity, 
quietly gathered unobserved all the “ eligibles ” among the new students ; 
and Epsilon suddenly awoke to find all her members about to leave, with 
none to fill their places. J. H. Bremmerman alone was left at the close of 
the college session, and the chapter remained in a very crippled condition 
for about two years. In 1871 Edward Stelle and William Acker, of Theta, 
together with Bremmerman, were appointed by the fraternity as a commit¬ 
tee to revive the chapter. They were successful in their efforts, and during 
the immediately succeeding years a large number of members were admit¬ 
ted. In recognition of Stelle’s valuable services, he was sent as Epsilon’s 
delegate to the convention at Columbus in the following year. Through his 
kindness the chapter conducted its meetings for a long time at his offices. 
As he was a practicing dentist, this afforded excellent opportunity for the 
most effective initiatory ceremonies, and many of Epsilon’s members will 
recall experiences when the light of flickering torches glistened upon objects 
that excited feelings not altogether reassuring. As long as Stelle kept these 
rooms the chapter met there; but, on his removal, it found a lodging in the 
old quarters at the Law Building of the University. Afterward it met at the 
houses of two of its members, W. H. Singleton and Theodore W. Noyes. 

One thing which troubled the awakening chapter for some time, was 
a large assessment to pay Epsilon’s quota on the catalogue then being pub¬ 
lished. On account of other expenses, it was a serious question to meet, 
and yet the members did not wish to repudiate it. In their dilemma, it 
occurred to them that some enterprise might be started to raise the amount, 
and Prof. Henri Masson, of the School of French at the University, was 
induced to deliver a lecture in French, entitled, “ Les Femmes Fran9aises.” 
This was given at Lincoln Hall, then the largest auditorium in Washington; 
but, unfortunately, the tastes of the public did not correspond with the hopes 
of its projectors. The audience was not an entire failure, but nothing was

added to the treasury of the chapter. Nevertheless, the boys were not dis¬ 
heartened, and, having secured the services of John B. Gough, the effort 
was repeated. This time, however, through the malfeasance of Epsilon’s 
business agent (not a member of the fraternity), not only were the profits 
wholly lost, but a small debt was left upon the chapter. A third venture 
was never made. 

During the years that followed this revival of the chapter, down to 1880, 
Epsilon had a varied experience. Recognizing the importance of having 
the fraternity actively represented at the capital of the nation, the members 
of Epsilon made a most determined effort to keep the chapter alive; but 
owing to the comparatively small attendance of the University, great diffi¬ 
culty was always experienced in finding those whom the members of the chap¬ 
ter regarded as suitable persons to be initiated. At the date of the Richmond 
Convention, in 1874, Epsilon was reduced in numbers and unable to send a 
delegate. The condition of the chapter was discussed at this convention ; 
and, acting upon mistaken representations, a committee was appointed to 
conduct its obsequies, and return its archives and property to the Parent 
Chapter, at Delaware, Ohio. This committee soon discovered that Epsilon 
objected to being buried before it was dead ; and at the following con¬ 
vention, in 1876, at Philadelphia, Mr. W. H. Singleton was sent as the dele¬ 
gate of his chapter. Upon his representations, the action of the previous 
Grand Chapter was reconsidered, and repealed ; Epsilon was declared to 
be in full possession of all her powers; and the hasty action at Richmond 
was deplored. 

Notwithstanding the gallant fight which was being made at Washington, 
the paucity of material in the University continued to be such that the 
chapter was unable to recruit its ranks and was again without representa¬ 
tion at the convention of 1878. The effort, however, was not yet aban¬ 
doned, and when the Grand Chapter of 1880 met at Washington under the 
direction of the Virginia chapters and the Washington alumni, Mr. Single- 
ton was again received as the delegate of the chapter. To Singleton’s un¬ 
tiring devotion had been due, in a large measure, the preservation of the 
chapter’s life thus far, and to him was due much of the success of this con¬ 
vention. Others of the alumni had retained their active connection with 
the chapter; but they were finally advised by Theodore W. Noyes and 
Charles T. C. Earle, who were the last active members in the University, 
that in their opinion it was not advisable to take into the chapter anybody 
then in college. Upon the graduation of these two, Epsilon had ceased 
entirely its active connection with the University, and since the convention 
of 1880 no effort whatever has been made to continue its active existence. 
The other fraternities which have established chapters at the Columbian 
University are as follows: Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1859-61; Phi Kappa Psi, 
1868 ; Alpha Tau Omega, 1874-74.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY. 


Lexington, in the valley of Virginia, is 125 miles west of Richmond, and is the county 
seat of Rockbridge County. It contains about 3,000 inhabitants, and is noted as the burial 
place of Generals T. J. Jackson and Robert E. Lee, and also as the seat of Washington and 
Lee University. In 1749, Robert Alexander founded a classical school called “The Augusta 
Academy,” near Greenville, in Augusta County. It was afterward removed to Mt. Pleasant, 
in Rockbridge County, where, in 1776, Rev. William Graham, A.M., was its principal. At the 
first meeting of the Trustees after the Battle of Lexington, May 6, 1776, its name was 
changed to “Liberty Hall Academy .” In 1782 the Legislature granted it a charter, confer¬ 
ring upon its Board of Trustees all the powers of a college corporation, including the power 
to confer degrees. This was the first charter granted to any institution of learning in Virginia 
after the Revolution. General George Washington bestowed upon it, in 1796, property valued 
at $50, ockd, and in honor of its munificent benefactor its name was changed in 1798 to 
“Washington Academy,” which it retained until 1813, when it gave place to “Washington 
College.” It graduated its first class, twelve in number, September 14, 1785. From that 
time on its classes increased in size. For the twenty years ending with 1820, they averaged 
eighteen, and for the like period ending with i860, thirty-three. 

General R. E. Lee accepted the Presidency in 1865, and gave a new impulse to the 
•college, re-assuring its friends. The number of students was greatly increased. The gradu¬ 
ating class of 1867 numbered 160, and that of the year following 201. Under his wise and 
comprehensive policy, the course of instruction was enlarged. His recognized ability enabled 
him to put in operation his conception of what was needed for an institution of the highest 
•order and widest range. He divided its studies into distinct elective departments. Subject 
to the advice of the Faculty and the wishes of parents, students selected their departments. 
Certain studies in each department are prescribed , others are elective. Fifteen lectures each 
week must be attended. Proficiency in a certain number of the departments entitles the 
student to a degree. The degree of either M. A. or B. A. can be reached by several different 
courses of study. The arrangement gives scope for the exercise of individual taste and talent, 
and allows the largest liberty consistent with thorough culture. The system remains a monu¬ 
ment to his intelligent grasp of the demands of the age. Upon his death in 1870, his son, 
General G. W. Custis Lee succeeded him in the Presidency, where he still remains. In 1871 
it received its present name. 

The coming of General R. E. Lee to the head of the University, seemed to be the bugle 
blast, calling around it generous benefactors, as well as students. Previous to that time, in 
addition to the gift by General Washington, it had received $25,000 from The Society of the 
Cincinnati in 1803, and in 1826, $40,000 from John Robinson, a soldier under Washington. 
Exclusive of endowment, its property in 1865 was valued at $63,000, and its endowment was 
$90,000. Its endowment is now $600,000, besides $120,000 in unrealized amounts, or a total 
of $720,000; and the value of the property in grounds and buildings, library, apparatus, etc., 
is estimated at $235,000. No stronger proof than this continuous stream of benefactions, 
is needed to show the strong hold it has upon the public at large. Many glowing names 
adorn its roll of alumni. To her own children she can look with confidence for her future 
career. Upon their work, worth, love and loyalty she may safely rest. 

The Lee Mausoleum, built as an annex to the chapel, is worthy of note in this sketch. 
It is built of stone and brick, and is fire proof. Beneath it is a crypt of massive masonry, 
with twenty-eight receptacles for bodies, three of which are now filled with the remains of 
General R. E. Lee, Mrs. Mary C. Lee and Miss Agnes Lee. In the chamber above is the 
recumbent figure of General R. E. Lee, the masterpiece of Valentine, the Virginia sculptor. 
It is expected that the ashes of General Harry Lee, the father of General R. E. Lee, will 
find their last resting place here. The title to the mausoleum is in the University Corpora¬ 
tion, in trust, as a place of sepulture for such members of the Lee family as the family may 
desire to have placed there. It cost $30,000.

THE ZETA. 


THE ZETA. 


During the month of October, 1866, Dr. J. J. Weaver, Jr., then a 
student at Gettysburg, Pa., received a letter from Wallace Wood, of the 
Eta, giving a glowing account of the condition of his chapter, then but 
recently reorganized. He lamented, however, the loss of four good men, 
one of whom, Mr. J. P. Billups, had gone to the institution at Lexington, Va., 
known at that time as Washington College. This letter resulted in the 
establishment of the Zeta. Dr. Weaver was then, as always since, an enthu¬ 
siastic Sigma Chi, and immediately wrote to Billups, urging the importance 
to the fraternity of establishing chapters at every first-class institution. In 
reply he received a letter, of which the following is a partial copy : 

“Washington College, Lexington, Va., 
November 4, 1866. 

J. J. Weaver, Jr., Sigma Chi : 

Dear Sir ,—Yours of the 27th ult. was received on yesterday, and I 
hasten my response. I have thought for some time of the practicability 
and expediency of establishing a chapter of the ‘ noble ^ X ’ at Washing¬ 
ton College ; and your letter, in a great measure, has revived the thought. 
After some meditation upon the subject, my conclusion is, that I can organ¬ 
ize here a chapter such as will reflect credit upon the fraternity at large. 
There are here in organization but two societies of this order, and our stu¬ 
dents number in all four hundred. I find that they compete in no point of 
view with the Sigma Chi. The select body of our students have not con¬ 
nected themselves with either of these fraternities. I have friends here 
whom I feel fully confident will give me their assistance, but have commu¬ 
nicated with none as yet in regard to the subject. * * * *■ 

With many wishes for the prosperity and harmonious progress of your 
chapter, together with the hope of hearing from you soon, I am, 

Fraternally yours, J. P. Billups.” 

The vigorous correspondence that followed speedily resulted in a 
petition, which, under the recommendations of Theta and Eta, was unani¬ 
mously granted on December 10, 1866. Mr. Billups soon afterward 
formally initiated the following, as charter members, with himself, of the 
new chapter : John D. Young, J. W. Ewing, Wallace E. Colyar, James T. 
Harrison, Alfred T. Young, John M. Graham, John B. Kent and Erasmus 
J. Parsons. A charter member writes that “ Billups was noted among his 



WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY. . 


71 


fellow students for his good looks; J. D. Young, for his big-heartedness;, 
J. W. Ewing, for his eloquence; Wallace Colyar, for his humor and wit;; 
J. T. Harrison, for his conviviality, and John M. Graham, for his frequent 
trips, with the girls, to the Natural Bridge (a distance of twelve miles from 
the college).” They were a splendid and congenial set, and the prophecy 
of Billups, that the chapter would “ reflect credit upon the fraternity at 
large,” has yet to be proved untrue. For some time the chapter had no 
hall of its own, but met in the rooms of two of its active members, J. D. 
and A. T. Young. It was exactingly critical in its choice of men, but among 
the large number of students it readily found as many members as it cared 
to have. The year following its establishment, Henry Crommelin, R. W. 
Foster, William R. Fox, Charles H. Newman and W. F. Pinckard were initi¬ 
ated, and during the succeeding year Oliver S. Beers, James D. Brown,. 
Henry Clay and Robert Ewing were added to the number. Clay, when at 
college, was tall and handsome, had a great deal of dash, and bore a strik¬ 
ing resemblance to his celebrated grandsire, the great Kentuckian. In his 
youth he gave every promise of that brilliant career, upon the threshold of 
which he met his violent death. He became a member of the Arctic expe¬ 
dition of the Proteus for the rescue of Greely, and it is said that “when the 
Proteus went down, and it was manifest that the further progress of the 
fleet was impossible, it is now evident that the plans and suggestions of Clay, 
characterized by rare intelligence and knowledge of the situation, had 
they been carried out, would most probably have saved the lives of the 
entire Greely party.” In him the name of Clay was once more becoming 
conspicuous, and when he was shot in Louisville, Ky., by a drunken friend,, 
the local papers stated that “ it was one of the saddest events in the history 
of the city, and cast a pall over the entire community.” It was the little 
group of which Clay was a member, of which the Hon. Robert Ewing, 
of Nashville, Tenn., recently wrote : “ I recall this fact, that friendship 

rather than all else was what we sought and so fully found. If college or 
society honors came, as to many of our little band they did come, the 
wearer was blessed ; but in our own meetings, after we had blessed him, 
his crown was laid aside. The majority of those at college during my stay 
were ambitious young men, who had served in the army, and who were 
unwilling to let slip the opportunity of acquiring an education. As a 
consequence they were, as a whole, manly and highly worthy of admi¬ 
ration ; and many have attained great success in the struggle for fame.” 
With such an ideal of fraternity rigidly insisted upon, Zeta flourished for 
many years. Her records were brilliant with genuine success ; her life was 
pleasant, although uneventful. Six fraternities had entered the institution ; 
but at this period her principal rivals were Delta Kappa Epsilon and Beta 
Theta Pi, and between the three there existed an active though friendly 
rivalry. 


72 


THE ZETA. 


In 1874 the chapter numbered eight active members, and was repre¬ 
sented in the faculty by Professors Tayloe and Graves ; but the following 
college year opened with only Harry H. Russell, Francis A. Scratchley, and 
the two Professors, to battle for Zeta. At this juncture, howefer, R. K. 
Boney, of the Beta Beta, and Matt Clay, of the Pi, were attending the Vir¬ 
ginia Military Institute, but a few rods distant from Washington and Lee. 
They were at once invited to become active members ; Lee, Fort, Downs, 
Cocke and Lawther—all capital fellows—were initiated ; and the chapter 
seemed certain of prosperity. But Russell and Lee graduated with honor; 
Downs, Fort, Lawther and Clay did not return, and 1876 found the battle 
to be fought again. Cocke and Scratchley, at the University, and Boney, 
at the Institute, were reinforced by W. T. Crenshaw, of Pi, and the chapter 
soon had its full quota of first rate men. Boney being the only representa¬ 
tive at the V. M. I., grew lonesome and urged the chapter to initiate some 
of his brother cadets. The Institute, situated also at Lexington, was one 
of the great institutions of the South. Its fame, as a military and scientific 
academy, rivaled that of West Point; and its patronage was largely drawn 
from the leading families of the Southern States. Its students were thus 
very similar in character, tastes and social standing to those at Washington 
and Lee ; and Boney’s proposition met immediate favor. There had been 
an effort made to secure a separate chapter at the Institute, but it had failed 
because of the objections of the fraternity to a military school. This plan 
was therefore abandoned, and with the cooperation of Dr. F. A. Scratchley, 
who was Zeta’s delegate to the Convention at Philadelphia, Boney secured 
the permission of the fraternity to initiate cadets of the V. M. I., as active 
members of Zeta. The experiment proved eminently successful, and from 
that time until 1883, Zeta rode upon the high tide of prosperity, with a large 
and congenial membership, drawn from both of the sister institutions. 
In the spring of 1883, however, the military restrictions upon the cadets so 
seriously interfered with the meetings outside of the Institute that a petition 
to divide the chapter was successful, and the Alpha Mu was established at 
the V. M. I. Since then the history of Zeta has been much like the record 
of her past. Her membership has seldom exceeded eight, and has frequently 
been less. Her ideal of fraternity has always included the element of inti¬ 
mate personal friendship, and, true to her early standard, it has been 
“ friendship rather than all else ” that she sought and has so fully found. 
But her roll of honor challenges comparison with all her rivals. As orators 
and medalists, as athletes and editors, her members have crowned her with 
victorious garlands of which she may well be proud. Her badge has been 
worn by the sons of the historic families of the South, and at the Institute 
balls by the fair daughters of the Old Dominion’s bluest blood ; for be it ever 
remembered that to be President of the Final Ball is Lexington’s most 
cherished honor. The aim of the chapter has been the cultivation of 


WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY. 


73 


manly character and the promotion of all that is highest in the intellectual 
and social life of its members. An enemy to littleness and meanness and 
egotism and cant, its influence has been felt not only within the chapter 
limits but throughout the University. The fraternity has always regarded 
it with unusual favor, and, in the person of William C. Ludwig, as noble 
and as pure a man as ever wore its badge, Zeta was honored with the first 
Grand Praetorship of the Second Province. Much could be written of the 
pleasant chapter meetings, of the contests for honors, and of the escapades of 
civilian and cadet, were not discrimination impossible among the delightful 
associations of its chapter life. Its rivals have been : 

Phi Kappa Psi (1855); Beta Theta Pi (1856-80); Kappa Alpha (1865); 
Alpha Tau Omega (1865) ; Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1867); Kappa Sigma 
Kappa (1867); Delta Kappa Epsilon (1868-78); Phi Gamma Delta (1868-78); 
Delta Psi (1869); Theta Delta Chi (1869-74); Kappa Sigma (1873-77); 
Chi Phi (1873-77); Sigma Nu (1882); and Phi Delta Theta.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI. 


On the 20th day of February, 1819, the United States, by special act of Congress, granted 
thirty-six sections of land to the State of Mississippi, “ in trust, for the support of a seminary 
of learning therein,” etc. These lands were judiciously located, and grew rapidly in value. 
They were sold about 1833 for $277,332. The State failed for a time to execute the trust 
assumed in accepting the lands ; but in 1844 the State Legislature passed an act, under which, 
in that year, the University of Mississippi was incorporated, and the proceeds of the land 
grant were vested in its Board of Trustees. The University was not actually opened until 
1848. It had during that year eighty students. The first graduates were sent forth in 1851. 
From 1851 to 1861 its growth was rapid. In the latter year, on account of the war, it 
suspended and remained inactive until the fall of 1865. Its funds, not having been 
actually transferred from the custody of the State, were not lost during that uncertain period. 
No accounting, however, was made to the Board of Trustees until 1880, when the Legisla¬ 
ture recognized the State’s indebtedness to the University to be $544,061.23, and upon this 
amount she now annually pays interest at the rate of six per centum , yielding a revenue of 

$32,643- 

Its period of greatest prosperity, if judged by the number of students in attendance, was 
from 1877 to 1881. In 1877-78 it had enrolled the names of 471 students. Since that year 
the attendance has been less. In the catalogue for 1888 the number of students is given at 
228. The whole number who had received instruction in the Department of Arts, prior to 
1888, was 3,347, and in the Department of Law, 335. In the Department of Arts there are 
fifteen Professors and Instructors, and in the Department of Law there are five. The De¬ 
partment of Arts has three courses, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the degree 
of Bachelor of Science, and the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. There are also two 
Post-graduate bourses connected with this Department, one for the degree of Master of Arts, 
and the other for that of Doctor of Philosophy. 

The University is located near Oxford, which place is noted as being healthful as to cli¬ 
mate, and cultured and refined as to its people. The institution is entirely free from secta¬ 
rian influences, but the formation of character and the development of Christian culture are 
not neglected. The buildings no doubt will, at no distant day, give place to more imposing 
structures. The Gymnasium is supplied with many of the appliances for healthful exercise, 
and is free to all students. The expense of attending the University is less than at many 
similar institutions. The Library contains about 12,000 volumes. 

Edward Mayes, LL.D., is the present Chairman of the Faculty. Among those who 
have in the past been at the head of the University, we find the name of General Alexander 
P. Stewart, and also that of F. A. P. Barnard, LL.D., D.D., who for the last quarter of a 
century has been President of Columbia College, N. Y. City. 

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees in June, 1882, it was resolved that thereafter 
females sufficiently advanced to enter the Freshman class, should be admitted as students 
upon the same conditions, in all respects, as males ; and since that time co-education has 
prevailed. Wise regulations are in force lessening, as far as possible, the objections often 
urged against the education of both sexes in the same institution. The percentage of ladies 
in attendance has not been large, probably owing to the educational standard required for 
admission. The University holds the first place among the educational institutions of the 
State.

THE ETA. 


THE ETA. 


Sigma Chi was a babe of two summers only when she came from her 
distant Northern home and, at the University of Mississippi, first saw the light 
of a Southern sky. Three fraternities were already represented in the Univer¬ 
sity, the “ Rainbow, or W. W. W.,” then quite an exclusive Southern frater¬ 
nity, but now a branch of Delta Tau Delta, the Delta Kappa Epsilon, and the 
Delta Psi. Great care was taken to prevent the movement for a 2 X charter 
from becoming known, and the unexpected advent of seven Sigma Chi badges 
created a lively sensation on the campus. Their wearers were among the 
brightest and most popular young fellows in the University: J. R. McIntosh, 
J. W. Buchanan, S. L. Boggan, W. T. McCann, Kennon McElroy, A. H. 
Gibson and Calvin R. Myers. They received their charter on October io 
1857, and at once set vigorously to work to build up the chapter. It was 
an era of fraternities at Oxford. Phi Kappa Psi entered the University 
about this time, and Chi Psi came in the following year ; but the new “ Sigs ,r 
were zealous workers, and in i860 there was not a stronger chapter than Eta 
in the University. Hon. J. R. McIntosh, now one of the foremost lawyers 
of the State, seems to have been the leader, and a recent letter from him 
furnishes a glimpse of the early history of the chapter. He says : “ I 
declined, upon first entering the University, to join any secret society, and, 
before uniting with any, I received a letter from Mr. W. L. Lockwood, 
corresponding secretary of Alpha Chapter at the Miami University, Ohio, 
proposing an organization of the fraternity at the University of Mississippi. 

1 talked with a few of my bosom companions, among whom were J. W. 
Buchanan, of my class (Freshman), Thomas Boggan, Calvin Myers and 
Isaac Shelby. All of these were manly, brave young men. Shelby, how¬ 
ever, was not one of the charter members. Seven of us agreed to organize 
Eta Chapter ; so I wrote to Lockwood, and obtained our charter and 
badges. I shall never forget the pleasant comments that were made upon 
us the first day we put on our badges. We were called ‘ Young Innocents/ 
by reason of the White Cross we wore. We were not long in having 
accorded to us an honorable position among the several fraternities then in 
existence there, and felt proud of the influence we wielded in the two liter¬ 
ary societies. Long before I left the University I was gratified to see that 

2 X took high rank among the oldest and most honored fraternities.” 

In the ante-bellum history of the fraternity, the members of Eta played 
an active part. Every project for the advancement of the order received 
their enthusiastic support. Their delegates were present to lend counsel

and advice in the early conventions, and the bond of fraternal union was 
strengthened by the intimate connections which they maintained with the 
Northern chapters. The anniversary of the founding of the chapter was 
always appropriately observed ; and it was to this annual celebration in 
i860, that the Gamma sent Alonzo W. Heeter to carry to their Southern 
brothers the fraternal greetings of the North. It was but one brief year 
after this that the ties of brotherhood were severed by the sword ; and the 
roll of drums was heard in every college in the land. True to her Southern 
home and true to herself, the Eta did not falter at the call. Every member 
of the chapter went into the ranks; not one was a laggard in the duty 
before him. Many of them were killed ; many of them are sleeping, we 
know not where. They were mere boys, nearly all of them reared in the 
lap of luxury ; but they followed their flag with unfaltering steps, and laid 
down their lives cheerfully for their honor and their country’s sake. They 
had not time to write their names on the scroll of fame ; for they were 
borne away in the very Spring and morning of life, with the bloom of boy¬ 
hood on their cheeks. Smiling lips quivered, and beaming eyes grew dim 
as they quickly fell victims to the cruel carnage of war. As we glance 
over the list of our Northern and our Southern dead, it would seem indeed 
that Sigma Chi is more honored in their obscure graves than in the proudest 
achievements of her other gifted sons in the council halls of state. These boys 
of Eta were of the flower of the Southern army. They died far away, per¬ 
haps, from their native state, and the South is too poor to erect even simple 
headstones above them ; but their matchless valor and noble chivalry have 
woven for them imperishable chaplets and will preserve their names forever 
while they lie silent on some field of fame. In the army, on the march or 
in the camp, they were true to the vows of Sigma Chi, and the sons of Eta 
composed the majority of that celebrated “ Constantine Chapter,” founded 
by H. S. Dixon, of the Fsi, and of which Hal Yerger, of Eta, was the first 
Vice-President. Whether he donned the blue or wore the gray, a Sigma 
Chi, wherever met, received a brother’s welcome and a true fraternal hand. 
And many were the queer encounters of which the old boys love to tell. 
It was while prisoners of war at Fort Delaware, in February, ’65, that J. R. 
McIntosh last met Isaac Shelby “ in an old straw hat without a brim, a 
citizen’s coat with the tail torn off, pants without buttons, and shoes without 
strings,” and shared with him the money he had contrived to smuggle in. 

While the active members of Eta were crowning her with laurels in the 
field, the University at Oxford owed its preservation to an honored mem¬ 
ber of the chapter at home. In the Fall of 1865, the little city lay in ashes, 
with standing chimneys and naked walls to mark the courses of its quiet 
streets, a fate which the University would undoubtedly have shared had it 
not been for that grand old man, that noble-hearted Christian gentleman. 
Dr. A. J. Quinche, who is still one of her gifted professors and a loyal Sigma

THE ETA. 


Chi. Throughout the war Dr. Quinche was the sole custodian of the 
University. He had been a schoolmate of General Grant and of several of 
the officers of his army, and when, in December, 1862, Grant-reached 
Oxford on his march to Vicksburg, he gladly yielded to the solicitations of 
his school-boy friend and placed a guard over the property of the institu¬ 
tion. During the many destructive raids to which Oxford was afterward 
subjected, Dr. Quinche’s heroic efforts preserved the University from 
harm and enabled it to re-open its doors immediately upon the cessation 
of hostilities. 

No sooner were the drum and bugle hushed, and the shriek of shot and 
shell had ceased, than the institution was crowded with the sons of Missis¬ 
sippi and the neighboring South, eager to retrieve the loss of four long years 
of strife, and to equip themselves for the new era which had dawned in their 
defeat. Several of the fraternities hastily reestablished, and initiated a con¬ 
siderable number of students ; but early in 1866 a few young fellows drifted 
together, who had declined to enter these fraternities because none of them 
seemed to offer as attractive associations as they found among themselves. 
This came to the attention of Patrick S. Myers, who had been one of the 
most brilliant students in the University before the war, and he immediately 
came down to Oxford from his home at Holly Springs, bringing with him 
the charter of Eta and the constitution of the fraternity, written in cipher. 
Several meetings were held, which were attended by H. C. Myers, B. C. 
Adams, W. M. Forest, W. E. Andrews and Wallace Wood. They were 
interested in the project of reviving Sigma Chi, and after many pledges 
of secrecy, the papers of Eta were turned over to Wood. Permission was 
heartily given them to reestablish the chapter; Wood set to work to 
decipher and translate the ritual and constitution, and the Eta was soon in 
a flourishing condition. Naturally enough, many of the members who 
figured in the early history of the chapter during the years immediately 
succeeding the surrender, had belonged to the armies of the late Confeder¬ 
ate States; many had seen active service, and several bore on their bodies 
wounds received in battle. Even crutches and a wooden leg limped and 
hobbled to the meetings of Sigma Chi. Lee’s army was represented, as was 
also Johnson’s, along with Forrest’s, Jackson’s and Adams’ Cavalry. There 
were members formerly of Harvey’s Scouts, that noted band of men; and the 
Shenandoah also was represented, that far-famed privateer. Even those who 
had not been in the service were no strangers to the war. Under these circum¬ 
stances, the chapter easily took upon itself the characteristics of the soldier. 
Honor was first and foremost in measuring men and measures. A plain, 
blunt and practical view was taken of everything. True courage was a sine 
qua non to membership. Scholarship of course was desirable, but to sacri¬ 
fice to this any of their views of honor, gentlemanly bearing and true man¬ 
hood, was not to be thought of for a moment. Nevertheless, the members

of the chapter all stood well in their classes. They were well represented 
in the prize declamations, in the Junior and Senior orations; and in the 
two literary societies there were those who stood far to the front, who were 
an honor to the societies, to the fraternity and to the University, and who 
are now an honor to the State. In the selection of members, wealth and 
social rank were likewise given minor consideration. The Emancipation 
Proclamation had swept away the largest portion of the wealth of the South 
and left it poor indeed in all but land. Ready money was scarce in every 
circle of society, and among the students at the University economy was 
sought in the system of “batching,” which distinguished an important 
period of its history. A few resolute fellows, recognizing the straightened 
circumstances of their parents, clubbed together, bought their own rations 
and boarded themselves. They were soon followed by most of their fellow- 
students. Regular work was assigned to each member of the “ mess,” and 
they were able to secure plain but wholesome fare for half its ordinary cost. 
This was but one of the many shifts of an enforced economy ; and frequently 
the same gray jacket was worn upon the campus that had seen a service 
not so peaceful. In all these trials and hardships of the University, the 
members of Sigma Chi nobly bore their part, and the fraternity now claims 
to share with this venerable institution the honor of nursing into sterling 
manhood such brave, great-hearted boys. The old record of the chapter 
lies before us now, its pages yellow with age, its cover worn with constant 
handling. The old, musty leaves seem redolent with memories of convivial 
gatherings, boyish affections, smiles and tears, dead voices from the long ago- 
and speaking all through of the undying brotherhood of us all in Sigma Chi. 
In these old days there was no taint of sanctimony in the chapter. The mem¬ 
bers of Eta were the fellows who rode their horses at full speed through the 
lower hall-way of “The Hall,” or rolled cannon balls down the stair-way from 
the upper floors. They were the leaders in all the pranks and jollity; and 
woe unto the fellow that attacked a Sigma Chi!—he was well thumped. But 
there was not a bully or a rowdy in the number, and the chapter, almost to a 
man, was highly respected by the faculty. At any and all times they were 
ready, in season and out of season, to stand up for the University and to speak 
in her favor. The youthful martial spirit was kept alive by some enterprising 
Yankee sending to the town stationer some writing paper, with a beautiful 
cut of the college and poetical lines, commemorating some Southern war 
incident, printed at the top. Wallace Wood, whose activity in the interests 
of the fraternity is shown in all the records of this era, inadvertently used 
one of these sheets in a letter to the Kappa, and protests and apologies 
promptly followed. Wood, who is now a prominent official of the Texas & 
Pacific Railway, was Eta’s delegate to the Washington Convention, where 
he was elected temporary chairman, and did much to restore fraternal 
confidence between the chapters, North and South.

THE ETA. 


During these years, the social life of the chapter was one of its most 
prominent features. Its members always found a ready welcome in the 
best families of Oxford, which abounded in the most attractive type of 
Southern womanhood. To those fresh from the ranks and a soldier’s life, 
the society of these true and lovely women was especially invaluable in its 
refining and ennobling influences. When the history of the chapter comes 
to be fully written, this feature of its life will be given the prominence to 
which it is entitled. 

For some years the most prominent man in the chapter was Wiley N. 
Nash, now one of the leading men in Mississippi. He had enlisted as a 
soldier when a boy of only sixteen, and he fitly represented the spirit of the 
•chapter. He was frail and delicate, but he united in his character two 
widely different qualities, the quietest, gentlest bearing, and the most 
unflinching courage. His lofty ideas and his intense interest in the 
fraternity, as warm to-day as then, exerted a powerful influence on his 
fellows, and under his leadership the Eta flourished. Then came what 
Eta has since called “ the era of Jim Liddell,” for he was the most 
enthusiastic Sigma of his time and always had more influence in the chapter 
than any other. He gave to Eta an era of good-fellowship and fun, and 
when he left to continue his course at Roanoke College in Virginia, he there 
became the founder of the Tau. Sharpe, Roane, Tom Isom and W. C. 
Martin, the most brilliant intellect the University has ever had, succeeded to 
the leadership in turn, and Walter Malone, the poet of two biennial con¬ 
ventions, who for nearly a decade past has been so widely known to the 
fraternity at large. Malone’s personal popularity, ability and fraternity zeal 
have been a tower of strength to his chapter during recent years. 

From its birth the chapter has been crowned with success. Its “ ups 
and downs ” have been comparatively unimportant, and its future is spanned 
by the bow of promise. The fraternity chose wisely when it made the Eta 
its standard bearer in the South, and well has it fulfilled its trust. Five 
•chapters have been founded through its efforts : the Zeta, founded in 1866, 
by Jacob P. Billups and James T. Harrison; the Pi, founded in 1872 by 
W. E. Quin; the Tau, founded in the same year by James M. Liddell; the 
Beta Beta, founded in 1874, also by W. E. Quin; and the Alpha Omicron, 
founded in 1886 by J. M. Sinnot. J. M. Farrington assisted in the estab¬ 
lishment of the Delta, and Walter Malone was the first to urge upon the 
fraternity the founding of the Alpha Nu at the University of Texas. At the 
University of Mississippi the following fraternities have also been estab¬ 
lished : Rainbow, 1848 ; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1851 ; Delta Psi, 1855 i Phi 
Kappa Psi, 1857 ; Chi Psi, 1858 ; Phi Kappa Sigma, 1859-61 ; Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon, 1865; Phi Gamma Delta, 1870-9; Phi Delta Theta, 1877; Beta 
Theta Pi, 1879; Alpha Beta Tau, 1882 ; Kappa Alpha, 1883.

PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE. 


The nucleus of this institution was Gettysburg Academy, founded in 1810. This Acad¬ 
emy was succeeded by a classical school, called the “ Gettysburg Gymnasium,” in 1827. The 
college proper followed in 1832. The Lutheran Church desired an institution at Gettysburg, 
in which young men might be trained and fitted to enter upon the study of Theology at their 
Seminary at that place. For^this purpose they secured a charter for the Gymnasium, under 
the name of “ Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.” Three graduates were sent forth in> 
1834. There were five Professors at that time. In its earlier years it received some condi¬ 
tional aid from the State ; but in the main it had to depend upon tuition fees for support 
until within the last twenty years. 

The buildings are four in number, an Observatory, Linnsean Hall, Preparatory Hall,, 
and the main college building. The latter was erected in 1836-8. It is of the Doric style 
of architecture, and consists of a centre building and wings on either side. Its length is 150- 
feet, is four stories high, and contains recitation-rooms, chapel, library, society halls, and 
rooms for students. An additional large building is now being erected. The Campus con¬ 
tains about six acres, and is covered with trees planted in 1839. To the members of the Lin¬ 
nsean Society is largely due the fine condition of the college grounds. The number of students 
in the college for many years never greatly exceeded one hundred ; but it is to be remembered 
that they were almost without exception classical students. It has been thought best for its- 
work and mission to withstand the strong tendency of the times to lessen the importance of 
the study of Greek and Latin. It has enlarged its courses of study, but has done so by adding 
only such studies as recent educational interest and scientific progress has made needful. As 
occasion may call for it further enlargement in the Scientific course will be made. 

The consolidation of Franklin and Marshall Colleges in 1850, gave the one-third Luthe¬ 
ran interest in Franklin to Pennsylvania College, endowing the Franklin Professorship. In 
1864 two additional professorships were endowed ; and in 1868, by the will of D. Pearson,, 
another. The value of the lands and buildings is about $100,000, and the endowment is 
about $150,000. The libraries connected with the college contain 22,000 volumes. Accord¬ 
ing to the catalogue for 1888, there are thirteen professors and instructors, and 193 students. 
This is as large an attendance as the college has ever had, and shows that there is a steady 
growth. Three Presidents reigned during the first fifty-years—Charles P. Krauth, D.D.„ 
1834 to 1850 ; Henry L. Baugher, D.D., 1850 to 1868; and Milton Valentine, D.D., 1868 to 
1884. H. W. McKnight, D.D., has been its able head since that time. It can be said of 
Pennsylvania College, and safely, that the grade of instruction is of the highest order. It is 
free from glitter. There are no pretensions to university work or professional studies, but 
solid, thorough, non-professional training is full and well rounded out in every direction. Its 
alumni number 790 ; besides these, about 3,000 students have matriculated. 

An incident worthy of note, which had its parallel in Southern colleges, no doubt, but 
probably in but one other Northern college, was the enlisting, almost to a man, of the students 
in the military service of the United States during the late war. On the 16th of June, 1863,, 
they left Gettysburg for Harrisburg, Pa., where they were sworn into service, and became 
Company A of the 26th Pennsylvania Regiment. The present President of the College was 
a private of that company, and was made adjutant of the regiment. 

On Friday, June 26, four days before the Battle of Gettysburg, they took part in the 
preliminary skirmish at Bailey’s Hill, about five miles north of Gettysburg, with the Confed¬ 
erate forces that had crossed over from Chambersburg. General Doubleday refers to this 
skirmish in his “ Chancellorsville and Gettysburg ,” as the only serious resistance that Lee’s 
army met before the Battle of Gettysburg. The College buildings were used as hospitals- 
after the Battle of Gettysburg.

THE THETA. 


THE TRET/A 


A very few lines will more than suffice for the recounting of the facts 
•closely related to the founding of the Theta. The chapter was chartered 
April 3, 1863, and the ceremonies of institution were shortly after performed 
by a delegate from the Omicron. The following names appear upon the 
original charter : Simon Peter Mikesell, Thomas Charles Billheimer, Philip 
Melanchthon Bikle, and Henry Lafayette Ziegenfuss. The newly organized 
chapter found three other fraternities represented on the territory to which 
it had come: Phi Kappa Psi (1855); Phi Gamma Delta (1858); and Zeta 
Psi (1861). The last named chapter, because of reverses occasioned by the 
war, became extinct in 1864. Chi Phi (Princeton order) founded a chapter 
at Pennsylvania College in 1867, which quietly expired in 1872. Phi Delta 
Theta organized a chapter in 1875, and Alpha Tau Omega in 1883. Sigma 
Alpha Epsilon came in a year or two later, but had only a brief existence. 

The charter members were all lower-classmen, and realized fully that 
they had a reputation and character to form for themselves. Their chapter 
was to become whatever their ability could make it; and they determined 
to take a position second to none. Boldly attacking the older fraternities 
on their own ground, they initiated during the first year, Schaeffer, Weaver, 
Snyder, Black, Gibson, Nirdlinger and Jacobs, the acquisition of each of whom 
celebrated a victory over their rivals. This success naturally enough caused 
jealousy and ill-feeling; but the conduct of the chapter was such as to 
compel the respect of the entire college. Gettysburg was the very heart of 
the great civil conflict during this early period of the chapter’s history, 
and many of its members were drawn into the struggle ; but when its first 
anniversary arrived nine members answered to the roll. They had met 
regularly at old “ Number 28 ” (of dear memory), in the Eagle Hotel, and 
had debated time and again the idea of giving the Theta a happy “ send 
off” into the second year of its existence. The form of entertainment was 
much discussed, and a resolution was finally passed to the effect that “ it 
was eminently proper that a banquet should be held.” In those days an 
expensive entertainment of any description was a great rarity, and on this 
occasion it was intended to announce to the college world that the days of 
Theta’s infancy had terminated, and that on the day of her natal anniver¬ 
sary she would stand up and walk. Consequently the arrangements were on 
a grand scale, and when the reports of the brilliant speeches, rare viands, 
and, above all, the enormous cost (four dollars a plate), were subsequently 
noised abroad, the affair made a decided sensation. The old boys smile

with a keen relish of that old banquet yet. From that day Theta’s position 
was established, and Sigma Chi was one of the old fraternities at Pennsyl¬ 
vania College. 

The rivalry between the various fraternities has always been intense, 
owing to the limited number of students in the college—a fact especially 
noticeable at the resumption of the work of instruction, which had suddenly 
ceased when the campus became a portion of the great battle-field of the 
war, and college hall and dormitory were given up to the sad scenes and 
uses of the hospital. The Theta prospered. Its men were carefully selected, 
and it seems as if the neighborhood of the number nine—its membership on 
that first anniversary evening—was a particularly pleasant one for Theta, 
Seldom has the list of active members gone above or below it, and the tra¬ 
dition of its founders has been, for the most part, reverently believed in and 
honored. On January 31, 1874, a proposition was made to receive into full 
membership the then active members of the chapter of the Upsilon Beta 
fraternity at Pennsylvania College. Some debate followed this novel and 
unusual proposal, but it was felt that its acceptance would be good for all 
concerned, and February 3 witnessed the initiation of the entire chapter, 
eight in number, into the ranks of the Theta. The anticipations and 
hopes of those who conceived the transfer and conducted it to its successful 
completion, have been more than satisfied. 

During almost the entire history of the Theta, its members have been 
conspicuously active in the interests of the fraternity at large. Weaver and 
Jacobs ; Ziegenfuss and Bikle ; Kemp, Dawson and Acker; Trowbridge and 
McPherson—all are among its best known names. Prof. Bikle was the 
“ Grand Sigma ” of the Pittsburg Convention in 1864. On the 24th of May, 
1877, the State Convention of the Pennsylvania chapters was entertained at 
Gettysburg, in the hall of Theta. At the Biennial Convention of 1880, at 
which Albert S. Kemp, of Theta, presided, it was the earnest enthusiasm 
and practical suggestions of Theta’s delegate, John Fahnestock, that induced 
the fraternity to embark on its first journalistic venture. While Sigma Chi 
was fully alive to the advantages and necessity of an official magazine, it 
was Theta’s willingness to undertake the practical difficulties of its estab¬ 
lishment that actually carried this important measure. How well the trust 
was executed need not now be told. The editorial and financial manage¬ 
ment of the new magazine was conferred upon the chapter with large dis¬ 
cretionary powers ; and, under the able and indefatigable management of 
Trowbridge, Unger, and of J. B. and W. L. McPherson, The Sigma Chi 
became a recognized success and the most potent factor in the fraternity’s 
subsequent development. For two years the Theta successfully solved its 
editorial perplexities to the profit and credit of the order, voluntarily re¬ 
signing the trust with the issue of February, 1883. 

In its local aspects, “ the record of a quiet life,” might well be written

over the brief history of the Theta. Scarcely a chapter has had a less note¬ 
worthy, less prominent career. There have been no unusual happenings in 
the more than a quarter of a century of its life ; there has been only an 
ordinary, uneventful, and, above all, a peaceful existence. This quiet life 
has, however, given opportunities, unusual perhaps in their extent, for the 
formation and cultivation to a high degree of the principles of true man¬ 
liness, and congenial, helpful companionship, whose impress and activities 
are unceasing in the daily experiences of the chapter’s past and present 
membership—a membership that is the best, the most trustworthy exponent 
of what the Theta has been and is. While yielding none of the self-respect 
and strict sense of allegiance to its own high standard, the history of the 
chapter shows that its efforts to produce a wide-spread feeling and practice 
of amity among the other chapters at its college home, has not been value¬ 
less or fruitless. The exchange of fraternal courtesies between Greek and 
Greek within the somewhat narrow limits of the Theta’s plane of work and 
influence, has not been lost, and may be seen when an attempt is made to 
compare the condition of affairs in the wide fraternity world of to-day with 
that of ten or fifteen years ago. Men change, methods necessarily change 
with them, and the kaleidoscopic character of the Theta’s membership has 
not been without its strong influences upon the Greek world of Pennsylvania 
College, and, through the direct efforts of its individual members, upon the 
world at large. For many years the chapter has looked forward to the 
acquisition of a college home, and this sketch can be closed in no way more 
appropriate or more interesting than by stating that the movement for the 
erection of a chapter house, now being pushed so vigorously by its mem¬ 
bers, has every prospect of a speedy success. With this goal of every chap¬ 
ter’s laudable ambition clearly in sight, the Theta’s future usefulness and 
continued prosperity would seem to be assured.

JEFFERSON COLLEGE. 


The early settlers of Western Pennsylvania were mostly of Scotch-Irish descent, and 
were noted for their religious and educational spirit. The church and the schoolhouse were 
erected side by side, and classical schools were opened in log-cabins as early as 1780-90. In 
1780, the Rev. John McMillen opened a “ Latin School,” in such a cabin, in or near Can- 
onsburg. From it in 1791, came forth “ Canonsburg Academy,” under the patronage of 
Col. Canon. Judges Allison and McDowell, and others. The course of instruction was but 
little less extensive than that of the colleges east of the Allegheny mountains at that day. 
It sent forth men worthy to be ranked among the alumni of any college. After eleven 
years of prosperous work, it received a college charter under the name of Jefferson College, 
and became the first of a long list of colleges that have since been chartered and founded in 
our country west of the Allegheny mountains. 

It graduated its first class in 1802. For the next fifty years it held a place second to no¬ 
institution west or south of Princeton. Its classical course, its only one, was full and high. 
The number of yearly graduates increased from five in 1802 to seventy-six in 1858. At the 
latter date between 500 and 600 students were in attendance, all taking a classical course. In 
1865, when the union with Washington College took place, her alumni numbered 1,890. 

Their success in life best tells the story of the training received. Statistics, only partially 
complete, as to the positions and honors attained by the men graduated prior to 1852, show 
that of the 1,214 graduates at that time, three had been governors of states, four United 
States Senators, nineteen members of the House of Representatives, twenty-five Supreme 
Court Judges, thirty-one presidents of colleges, and fifty-nine college professors. Nine had 
received the degree of LL.D., and one hundred and eighteen that of D.D. The same ratio- 
would, no doubt, hold for the graduates of 1852-65, were the statistics at hand to determine 
it. It remains only to account for its union with Washington College, situated at Washing¬ 
ton, seven miles to the southward. The primary cause was financial weakness. Both insti¬ 
tutions were largely under the patronage of the Presbyterian church, and the rivalry between 
them was intense. For a time they thrived under this vigorous competition, but ultimately 
it proved fatal to Jefferson in that it prevented the accumulation of a permanent endowment. 
Until 1852, except for college buildings and working apparatus, no funds had been gathered. 
The professors were paid out of the tuition fees. In that year the plan of selling scholarships to 
raise an endowment was adopted, and under it $60,000 were raised. For $25.00 a scholar¬ 
ship, entitling the holder to four years tuition, good until used, could be purchased. The 
issuing of these scholarships cut off the income from tuition fees, and the interest of the sum 
secured thereby was not sufficient to pay salaries and expenses. The College began to get 
into debt—the future promised to increase it. The mistake was seen, but too late to be 
remedied. Rev. C. C. Beatty, LL.D., Steubenville, Ohio, promised $50,000 to the united 
institutions in case of union. Washington College also began to fall behind in expenses, and 
the question of future maintenance was solved for both in 1865 by their becoming a single 
institution. Washington and Jefferson College became the title of the new institution, and 
Washington, Pennsylvania, was chosen as its site. Its further history is given in the sketch of 
Washington College.

THE IOTA. 


THE IOT/\. 


One of' the best chapters the Sigma Chi Fraternity has ever had, was 
the old Iota at Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, although to-day chapter and 
college are only a memory. The little village of Canonsburg no longer 
calls students to its quiet streets. The college buildings are still seen 
standing on the hillside; but the halls, once filled with noisy, restless, 
eager students, are deserted. The boisterous gatherings at “Fort Job,” 
“ Fort Soup,” and in “ Brick Row,” are of the past. “ Providence Hall ” 
no longer gives audience to the villagers gathered to witness the contests 
between “ Philos ” and “ Franklins.” The strife for honors and the joys of 
commencement days have gone with the going of the boys. The village 
itself has ceased to bear the characteristics of a college town, and her streets 
are thronged with men from the adjacent mines, mills and oil fields. 

In 1858, the scene was different. “Old Jefferson ” was in her palmy 
days, and her fame spread far and wide. Few institutions have enjoyed 
such prestige ; and the Greeks were among her most ardent admirers^ It 
was here that Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi were born, in 1848 and 
1852 ; here that Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Sigma founded the fourth 
chapters on their rolls in ’42 and ’54 respectively. It was to Jefferson that 
Delta Tau Delta sent her first charter and in 1861 transferred her leader¬ 
ship and emblems of authority. It was on January 25, 1858, the same year 
that saw the advent of Delta Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon, that a 
petition for authority to establish a branch of Sigma Chi was drawn up and 
signed by ten of the leading students of the college. With a promptitude 
born of its appreciation of its opportunity, the charter was granted by the 
fraternity and the chapter organized on February 8,1858, just two weeks later. 
The petitioners were John H. Nesbitt, William P. Johnston, Charles D. Trum¬ 
bull, David Patton, James A. Ritchie, Alfred J. Patterson, David J. Irwin, 
William M. Taylor, Theodore H. N. McPherson and Henry Wallace. John 
W. Sproull and James S. Buck were added and Trumbull withdrew, so that 
the Iota organized with eleven members. The chapter immediately took a 
recognized position in the college, which was maintained down to the very 
last. The men were among the most exemplary, thoughtful and earnest stu¬ 
dents of the institution, and brought into their chapter life a spirit of practical 
and mutual helpfulness that has rarely been equalled. They were whole- 
souled, lively fellows ; but for some years the literary features of the chapter 
were greatly emphasized. There was nothing vealy or sophomoric, however, 
about this literary interest. It was practical and wholesome ; and among 



JEFFERSON COLLEGE.

the first notable entries in the single heavy quarto minute book, which con¬ 
tains the chapter’s records from its first meeting to its disbandment in 1870, 
is the entry of an appropriation of fifty dollars for subscription to the lead¬ 
ing English and American reviews and quarterlies. A chapter library was 
immediately started, and additional periodicals were ordered at subsequent 
meetings. In some way, the charter that was issued to Iota bore date June 
28, probably the date the document was actually prepared ; and the chapter 
celebrated its first anniversary on June 28, 1859. I* 1 following year, 

however, the minutes record that, “pursuant to previous arrangements the 
anniversary of the fraternity (Iota Chapter) was held in John Brown’s saloon, 
February 8, i860. All the members were present, and fifteen of the best¬ 
looking ladies in all this country, and the most sensible also.” It was a 
great occasion, dignified by an oration and a poem, and made merry with 
the music of the Canonsburg String Band. The chapter was uniformly 
prosperous and successful in its choice of members, who usually numbered 
ten. They are proud to recall now that they were, for the most part, first- 
rate fellows, above the average of college boys, with a true appreciation ot 
companionship and friends, whole-souled and jovial, but with never a rake 
in the number. The only fellow of this latter class was spirited swiftly out 
of town by his chapter brothers just in time to evade the officers of the law, 
who wanted him for some boyish escapade. To the work of the general 
fraternity the Iota lent a willing hand. On May 4, 1858, Wallace, Patterson 
and McPherson were appointed a committee to go toWashington College in 
the interests of the fraternity, and the subsequent establishment of both Nu 
and Omicron was due to the efforts of Iota. Its contribution of fifty dollars 
toward defraying the expenses of the Wheeling Convention in 1861, is an 
instance of its prompt and liberal recognition of financial obligations. 

It was an intense rivalry that Jefferson’s numerous fraternities main¬ 
tained, and occasionally the excitement rose to fever heat; but, for the 
most part, it was good-natured. All new-comers were promptly and critic¬ 
ally looked over by the fraternity managers, and the likely ones were sure 
to be treated with oysters, ice cream and tailor cakes at John Brown’s, with 
a drive or two to Washington, seven miles away, to make things certain. 
The two literary societies were prominent and exceedingly prosperous 
institutions. The work they imposed upon their members grew to be so 
great that Iota’s routine literary exercises were discontinued, and all her 
literary energies were transferred to the society arena. Here the contest 
waxed fierce and strong. The merits of routine performances in essay, 
oration and debate, were much discussed as the basis of electioneering for 
positions, when the fraternities, arrayed in two opposing combinations, 
contended with all their energy and skill for the coveted honors of the 
college. It is consistent with the greatest modesty to say that Iota held 
her own. The occasional abuses of this rivalry probably account for the 


134 


THE IOTA. 


effort of the faculty in 1866, to kill the fraternities by a matriculation 
pledge. The new students were not called upon to sign, however, until sev¬ 
eral weeks after the term had opened, and the fraternities had so vigorously 
acted upon the intimation of their friends in authority that the restrictions 
excluded few who were considered eligible, and the crusade was abandoned. 

It may be of interest to note that some time before this the chapter 
had located its rooms at “ Fort Jerusalem,” which derived its name from 
having formerly been used as a theological seminary, just as “ Fort Soup,” 
and “ Fort Job,” were the significant appellations of certain boarding houses. 
At Fort Jerusalem, Iota flourished until the attempt was first made to unite 
Washington and Jefferson Colleges into one institution. The attempt, fore¬ 
doomed to failure, was made to teach the three highest classes of the 
Department of Arts and Letters at Canonsburg, and the remaining classes 
and departments at Washington. In 1869 the impracticability of this 
scheme had been fully demonstrated; and then began the bitter contest 
between the partisans of Canonsburg and of Washington, to gain possession 
of the institution. The trustees decided to remove the College to Wash¬ 
ington. Opposition resulted, and an appeal to the courts, by which the 
legality of the transfer was finally upheld. In this bitter struggle the mem¬ 
bers of Iota, to a man, were friends of Canonsburg, and rather than enter the 
portals of their rival, they went elsewhere to complete their courses, many of 
them entering Princeton. The Nu, at Washington, had returned its charter 
during the war, on account of its members entering the army; and now the 
Iota disbanded, leaving to Sigma Chi a record of which she is proud, and 
a regret that its life was not permitted to last longer. Washington and 

Jefferson College has had a creditable history since. Its prestige has not 

rivaled that of “ Old Jefferson,” but it has been successful. Of the old 
members of Iota, many have learned to give it their allegiance, and now 
look upon the death of the chapter as ill-advised; but the petitions for its 
resurrection have thus far been refused. The complete roll of the frater¬ 
nities at Washington and Jefferson, exclusive of Sigma Chi, is as follows: 

Beta Theta Pi, 1842; Phi Gamma Delta, 1848 ; Phi Kappa Psi, 1852 ; Phi 
Kappa Sigma, 1853; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1858-65 ; Delta Upsilon, 
1858-72 ; Delta Tau Delta, 1861; Theta Delta Chi, 1869-72 ; Phi Delta 
Theta, 1876; Alpha Tau Omega, 1882.

BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY. 


Bucknell University was incorporated by an act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, 
with full university powers, in 1846, under the name of “The University at Lewisburg.” 
At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees in 1886, it received its present name in honor 
of William Bucknell, its most munificent benefactor. It is located at Lewisburg, on the west 
branch of the Susquehanna River, a quiet inland town, easy of access, and inexpensive as to 
the cost of living. There has been no attempt to enlarge the scope of studies beyond those 
usually termed non-professional. These are taught in three separate departments and build¬ 
ings ; the College, for young men who wish a full course of study ; the Institute, for young 
women in all branches ; and the Academy, for young men and boys preparing for college, for 
business, or for teaching. The three schools are under one corporation and have but one 
President. The College has a faculty of ten professors. In it are two courses of study of four 
years each ; the Classical, ending in a degree of A.B., and the Scientific, leading to the 
degree of B.S. The Academy has won for itself a high reputation. The Institute is pro¬ 
vided with its own corps of instructors, and these are aided by the College faculty in 
special studies. 

The College building, situated in a grove of native trees covering some fourteen acres, 
consists of a main edifice 80 feet square, with an east and a west wing, each 120 by 30 feet. 
The Academy building is on College Hill, three stories high, and well adapted to its work. 
The Institute building is located in a campus of its own, comprising six acres. It is supplied 
with all the modern improvements. In addition, the corporation owns Bucknell Hall, a 
beautiful and commodious chapel in which all three schools meet for daily morning prayers. 
In 1887 the observatory was built. Its equipment consists of a ten-inch equatorial telescope 
and a more than usually full set of appliances for its successful working. The financial con¬ 
dition of the University may be said to be most encouraging. Its largest gifts have all been 
of recent date. The value of the real estate is placed at $250,000, and the endowment funds 
are between $350,000 and $400,000, $100,000 of which endows the library. 

The number of students upon the roll for 1887-8 is 259,—74 in the College, 62 in the 
Academy, and 181 in the Institute. The institution is under the control of the Baptist 
Society, and very many of the College graduates have entered the ministry of that denomi¬ 
nation. The alumni number about 400. There is nothing that specially marks the 
collegiate work done in the institution. It is thoroughly good. The men who have gone 
forth have been well prepared for active life and speak well for their university. There 
are a number of prizes, both in the College and Academy, awarded to students excelling in 
specified work, and also some twenty scholarships, founded by Mr. William Bucknell, for the 
aiding of worthy young men in securing a collegiate education. It may be safely said 
that the University was never in a better condition than it is to-day. It merits and deserves 
the full patronage and support of the religious body in whose interest it more especially 
labors, and it will surely receive it. Its management is wise, its instruction thorough, and 
its facilities for work are continually being added to and improved. With earnest work on 
the part of its alumni, it will still further increase the number of its students and add 
largely to its financial resources.

THE KAPPA. 


THE KAPPA. 


In 1855, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity established a chapter in the Uni¬ 
versity at Lewisburg. Being the only Greek letter society in the institution, 
it early evinced an arrogant and selfish spirit and, by unfairly endeavoring 
to monopolize all the honors of the college, in a short time became very 
unpopular and at a later period gave rise to organized opposition. This 
opposition centered in an independent local secret society, founded in 1861 
and called the “Iota.” The records of the “Iota” are now lost in inexplic¬ 
able hieroglyphics, and consequently little is known of its early condition ; 
but tradition has it that the pioneers of “ Iota,” afterward Sigma Chis, were 
the men of the college. Seven students participated in its organization, one 
of whom was the Rev. T. A. K. Gessler, D.D., and its membership afterward 
grew to number between thirty and forty. For two years “ Iota ” preserved 
an independent existence, and during this time the rivalry between it and 
Phi Kappa Psi was intense. 

In 1863, when Lee invaded Pennsylvania, the students at Lewisburg 
responded to the call for volunteers, and a company from the University 
entered the service of the United States for the emergency. While in camp 
near Harrisburg, Pa., Dr. Gessler observed upon the breast of a soldier in 
another regiment the white cross of Sigma Chi. The desirability of uniting 
with this society came upon him while in conversation with the wearer of 
the badge, who was Niles Sheerer of Dickinson College. Gessler called 
several of the “Iota ” boys together, and held a conference on the subject 
with several Sigmas from Carlisle. Their meeting was held under the stars 
in the open fields near the camp grounds. This meeting was most care¬ 
fully planned, as a premature exposure at this stage of affairs would have 
been fatal. A place was selected for the conference on an elevated knoll 
under a large tree. The country about was entirely open, so that it would 
be impossible for an. eavesdropper to approach without observation. The 
number of boys to be present from each side had been prudently fixed 
beforehand, so that no strangers would find it possible to play a trick on 
the party because of the darkness. Here, on a beautiful star-lit evening, 
the meeting was held. It was a memorable gathering. Before the boys 
parted all cautious reserve had vanished from their intercourse, and the 
spirit of fraternity was already established. The result of their delibera¬ 
tions was, that immediately on their return to college in the fall the “Iota” 
boys made application for admission as a chapter of Sigma Chi. The 
petition was granted, and accordingly, on the evening of March 4, 1864, 
they were initiated by Brothers Rhoades and Brown of the Omicron, and 
chartered as the Kappa. They made T. A. K. Gessler their first Sigma,

which was then the title of the presiding officer. “ Iota ” at this time had 
thirty members. They were carefully selected men and generally the best 
in their several classes. This large number had been gathered, not only on 
social grounds, but because college politics seemed to make it necessary. 
The application to the fraternity for a charter was made by sixteen men— 
these were the charter members—because it was feared that the fraternity 
at large would not appreciate the conditions surrounding the case, and 
might be led to refuse a charter to so large a number. The entire circum¬ 
stances were carefully explained to Brown and Rhoades, and also to 
Sheerer, who accompanied them, and after the chapter had been organized 
according to the charter, the remaining fourteen members were at once 
initiated, and thirty Sigma Chis sat down to the first banquet of Kappa 
Chapter. They were royal fellows. Some of them have since made their 
mark in the world, notably Chauncey B. Ripley, LL.D., of New York, and 
Alfred Taylor, LL.B., of the same city. The joy and enthusiasm of that 
night were a good augury for the loyalty of the boys to the white cross of 
Sigma Chi. 

“ Iota ” had done most of its work secretly, and its very existence was 
mythical to its rival fraternity. Henceforth this was decidedly changed. 
Badges appeared and multiplied, and it caused no little astonishment that 
so many of the best classmen followed the lead of the “ seven stars.” The 
collisions between the two fraternities were frequent and bitter. Each had 
its adherents and sympathizers among the neutrals, so that it seemed that 
one half of the college was arrayed against the other. One incident 
of this period of strife is worthy of narration. Early in 1864, the boys of 
Kappa learned that the minute book of the now defunct “ Iota,” which had 
been written in cipher, had been purloined and was being translated in 
sections and read at the meetings of # K W. Although this was now 
ancient history, it touched a tender spot for the Kappa boys. It would be 
difficult to imagine the amazement of the faculty and of the neutrals when a 
short time afterward an officer appeared with a search warrant, vainly seeking 
everywhere for the missing constitution, minute-book and treasurer’s book 
of the $>KW. Somehow, these had mysteriously disappeared, together with 
a certain minute-book of old “ Iota.” The missing books were never found.. 
This fierce rivalry was a blessing to the youthful Kappa. It served to 
unite her boys in the firmest bonds of friendship; to inspire that love for 
the chapter, and zeal and earnestness in prosecuting its internal workings, 
which alone enabled her to survive the adversity which followed. In the 
general work of the fraternity the chapter was not backward. T. E. Clapp- 
was the first delegate of the chapter to the Biennial Convention at Pitts¬ 
burgh, in 1864; and Alfred Taylor was the delegate to the Special Convention 
of the Pennsylvania chapters at Pittsburgh, in December, 1865. 

There were in the chapter, at this time, a number of theological students.

who believed that the continual state of opposition in which the chapter 
existed, was entirely out of keeping with their profession. Good Baptists, 
with a little admixture of the Quaker in their religious make up, they longed 
for peace and an adjustment of difficulties, which at the time was wholly 
impossible. The presence of fraternities was, in their opinion, the cause of 
the trouble. Remove both fraternities, said they, and quiet will reign again 
over the college. At this crisis, an extensive revival occurred in the 
University. The faculty seized the opportunity to begin a crusade against 
the secret societies. They undertook to persuade all new converts that if 
they were to attain to anything like godliness, they must wash their hands 
of the stain of fraternities. What could our ministerial brothers do now 
with their doubts confirmed? Some there were, all honor to them, who 
claimed the right to differ with the learned theologians of the faculty; 
but probably the sentiment of the members upon the subject could not be 
better described than by transcribing a resolution that was offered, at this 
time, for the chapter’s consideration : 

“ Whereas, The present religious interest in the University has led the 
'Christian students to deplore the unpleasant spirit of sectionalism which 
has manifested itself for many years past; and 

“ Whereas, it is the universal opinion that the unpleasant feeling has 
^resulted from the existence of the secret organizations belonging to the 
University; and 

“ Whereas, the Gamma chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity pro¬ 
pose with us a mutual disbandment of the organizations, thus removing the 
original cause for which our chapter was established ; therefore , be it 

“ Resolved , that we sever the connection which binds us to the Sigma 
■Chi fraternity, and no longer regard ourselves as a secret organization.” 

Such a debate as followed the presenting of this resolution was never 
known before or since in Kappa’s Chapter Hall. Then the vote was taken : 
Yeas, nine; nays, fourteen. Some did not vote, others were absent. 
When these ultra conscientious brethren found the destruction of the chap¬ 
ter impossible, they tendered their resignations, which were immediately 
accepted. This event, so memorable in the annals of Kappa, occurred on 
the evening of the 9th of December, 1865. The old picture of the loyal 
fourteen, inscribed “The boys that voted 4 No,’ ” and written all around 
the margin with their names, hangs to-day in the chapter hall, a revered 
'Object. On calmly considering the question, it is now apparent that the 
ministerial brethren misconceived the cause of the “unpleasant spirit of 
sectionalism,” as they euphemistically termed fraternity rivalry. It resulted 
not so much from the existence of the Greek societies, as from their misuse 
and abuse. Numbering at times from forty to fifty members, they tended 
•to become political cliques; seeking alone the honors of the college, they 
lost the inspiration of social union and became only secret debating clubs.

Had the disgruntled men merely left the fraternity, all would have 
have been well; but this was not enough. They implored the faculty to 
extirpate the fraternities, root and branch. Too well did their prejudiced 
counsels prevail; for although they did not succeed in suppressing either 
chapter, they greatly weakened them. Every candidate presenting himself at 
the college for matriculation was required to sign a pledge,—afterward known 
as the “ iron-clad,”—that he had not joined and would not join a fraternity. 
Then for fourteen long years followed a reign of persecution for the frater¬ 
nities. During the first few years of faculty hostility, the existence of 
Kappa was precarious; but after 1869, Sigma Chi, by the gallant and 
devoted efforts of Brothers Teed and Marr, kept a brave and faithful little 
band about her altar, which, indeed, was not always stationary but rested 
now in one student’s room and then in another’s. The members, in order 
not to provoke suspicion or reveal their trysting-place, sought their rendez¬ 
vous by devious and untravelled routes. So rigorous was the secrecy main¬ 
tained that the members of one fraternity were absolutely unknown to those 
of another. After a time, however, the fraternity members became known 
to each other. Theta Delta Chi had established a sub rosa chapter about 
1867 ; and on counting noses it was found that the fraternity men com¬ 
posed about one-third of the students, including the best men in the college. 
They resolved on taking a bold stand, wearing their badges and bidding 
defiance to the authorities. Many of the neutrals, or non-fraternity men, 
were willing to join in a petition to abolish the pledge ; but when the great 
day came on which the demonstration was to have occurred, Phi Kappa 
Psi lost all her courage, and the scheme was ruined. Meetings were subse¬ 
quently held at the home of William Slifer, a Sigma Chi, where a petition 
was prepared and given to Col. Slifer, a curator of the University, to be 
presented to the Board ; but this also failed, and the faculty redoubled its 
efforts. Theta Delta Chi could not withstand the opposition, and died in 
1871, to be followed by Phi Kappa Psi in 1873. But with suc h leaders as 
Frank S. Marr and Freeman G. Teed, the Kappa weathered the storm in 
safety. The Philadelphia Convention of 1870 occurring during the holi¬ 
days, the boys of Kappa attended in a body; Slifer was made Grand Anno¬ 
tator, and the chapter returned to Lewisburg with enthusiasm sufficient for 
every obstacle. 

The men of Kappa became conspicuous in every phase of college life, 
in the recitation room, in the literary societies, in the boat club, and on 
the base ball field ; but no student, whatever his merits, could graduate 
with honors if his connection with a Greek-letter society was suspected by 
the faculty. Solely for this reason, Mervine, one of the brightest men ever 
matriculated by the University, was denied the valedictory, and Teed and 
others were excluded from well earned honors. Notwithstanding all of 
this espionage and opposition, there have been constantly on the chapter-

roll, since 1874, an active membership of never less than six, nor more than 
twelve of the best and most popular men of the University. With the 
advent of a new president in 1879, a more liberal policy prevailed. One of 
the first acts of Dr. Hill’s administration was the abolition of all prohibitory 
legislation, and fraternities were reorganized and encouraged. Phi Kappa 
Psi revived her chapter and Phi Gamma Delta entered in 1882. The “ dark 
days ” of Kappa were over. 

Since 1879 the chapter has been prosperous and peaceful. Its men 
have been selected carefully for social standing, congeniality and good fel¬ 
lowship, for push and ability, for brightness without bookishness. It has a 
large alumni membership in Lewisburg, and these fratres in urbe have 
always cooperated with the active chapter in securing to every new Sigma 
an entree into the best circles of the little city. For this reason, its social 
standing has been the chapter’s pride. In 1884 the ladies of the town 
entertained the chapter at its hall in elaborate style, and it has sought to 
recognize its many obligations to their constant favor by an annual recep¬ 
tion in its well-appointed chapter rooms, which are admirably adapted to 
the purpose. The success of these occasions has been rivalled by that of 
the annual “ Symposium ” at Commencement, when the veterans of the 
chapter gather at the old hall for a night of reminiscence and good fellow¬ 
ship, of song and anecdote and repartee. No chapter has had more 
devoted sons, and few have been more loyal to the fraternity. Its repre¬ 
sentatives have been present at all the conventions and most of the infor¬ 
mal gatherings of the order. Members of the Kappa were active in the 
founding of the Upsilon, and Hon. Robert E. James went from Kappa to 
Easton, Pa., to establish the Phi. During the college year of 1873-4 the 
Kappa met, with the other Pennsylvania chapters, with Omicron at Carlisle, 
in a State Convention which proved a great success. Frank Marr pre¬ 
sided over the Philadelphia Convention of 1876, and Freeman G. Teed, 
whose ready wit and genial fellowship and able counsel contributed so 
largely to the success of many a Grand Chapter, received like honor at 
Cincinnati, in 1884. It would lengthen this sketch beyond its limits to 
recount the services of Teed to Sigma Chi; and so familiar is his name 
that it would seem a needless task. His contributions to the official maga¬ 
zine have been among its most valuable and interesting contents. At 
the Grand Chapter of 1882, Carl C. Law was made Grand Pro Consul of 
the provisional government then adopted, while M. C. Reinhold was an 
officer of the Biennial Convention in 1886. Under the old system of order¬ 
ing fraternity jewelry, Kappa was the official jewelry agent for many years, 
voluntarily resigning the post in 1888, in order to transfer its duties to the 
Grand Tribune. Such has been the life of the Kappa, a striking illustra¬ 
tion of the devotion and success that flourish under persecution.

THE INDIAN/l UNIVERSITY. 


The Indiana University was chartered in 1820 as a State seminary. It was located at 
Bloomington most probably on account of that place being near the centre of the population 
of the state, and for the reason that one of the townships of land donated by Congress for 
educational purposes adjoined the site of the little city, then but recently laid out. Two 
men seem to have fought its early battles and won its first victories,—one the life-long Presi¬ 
dent of its Board of Trustees, Dr. David H. Maxwell ; and the other the first President of its 
faculty, Rev. Andrew Wylie, D.D. Dr. Maxwell was a wise and powerful patron, when patrons 
were few. During his many years of service in both Houses of the State Legislature, and also 
as a member of the University Board, he spared no efforts in its behalf, and to his efforts were 
largely due its permanent establishment. Dr. Andrew Wylie was elected its President in 
1828. He was a thorough classical scholar, an executive officer of ability, and a most skillful 
teacher. He was one of the sturdy characters of the olden time and the highest type of a 
college president. His name has been closely linked with the University by naming the 
largest of the new buildings, Wylie Hall. 

The first Seminary buildings were opened for students in May, 1825. At this time 
Bayard R. Hall was the only instructor. In 1830 a more pretentious building was erected to 
accommodate the increasing number of students. This burned in 1854, and in its place was 
erected the present preparatory building. In 1873-4 a building was erected to meet the 
needs of the scientific departments. This also was burned in 1883. After this fire Monroe 
County, of which Bloomington is the county-seat, made a gift of $50,000 to the University, 
With this and the insurance money, the Trustees bought a most desirable piece of property 
adjoining the city on the east, and erected thereon three new buildings, known as Wylie, 
Owen and Maxwell Halls. These new grounds, elevated and attractive, embrace twenty 
acres covered with maple and beech trees. Wylie Hall is 113 by 84 feet, and is devoted to 
the departments of Chemistry and Physics. Owen Hall is 71 by 65 feet, and is devoted to 
the Museum, Geology, Zoology, Botany, etc. These two halls are of brick trimmed with 
stone. They are thoroughly fire-proof, and are modern in all their appointments. Maxwell 
Hall gives accommodation to some of the literary departments. The laboratories of Geology, 
Photography, Entomology, Biology, Physics and Chemistry are all well equipped for work. 
The Biological Laboratory is supplied with 23,000 specimens, the Ichthyological department 
being absolutely exhaustive. The Museum has 33,000 specimens of birds, fishes, etc. The 
University library, containing 15,000 volumes, was destroyed in 1883, but a new one is 
rapidly taking its place. The financial condition of the University is all that could be 
desired. The revenues for 1887-8 were $40,343.02. The State made an annual appropriation 
of $23,000. Interest 0*1 endowment and State bonds netted $10,575, and the remainder came 
from other sources. In 1883 the Legislature of Indiana passed a bill providing for its per¬ 
manent endowment, by levying a tax of one-half per cent, on each $100 of valuation for 
thirteen years. This will net a fund, it is believed, of $750,000 or over. 

Indiana University has been favored in having among its faculty many men of excep¬ 
tional ability. Among them it may suffice to mention Drs. Andrew Wylie, Dorley, Nutt, 
T. A. Wylie, Owen, Ballentine and Kirkwood. David S. Jordan, LL.D., its present Presi¬ 
dent, has made a reputation as a botanist, and his “ Manual of Vertebrates” shows a scien¬ 
tific treatment of Zoology. The number of students in 1887-8 in the regular college classes, 
was 273, and in the Preparatory school 125, a total of 398. The highest number attained in 
the college proper from 1828 to 1850 was in 1846, when it was about 120. From 1850 to 
1866 it never exceeded that number. 1868 to 1873 were prosperous years, under President 
Nutt, when the number went to 194. Under President Moss, in 1881-2, it reached 199, and 
in 1887-8, 273. The largest class it has graduated was that of 1888, containing 40 members. 
The alumni number 775 and about 6,500 students have matriculated.

THE LAMBDA. 


THE L/\HBDA. 


In the spring of 1858 Alexander D. Lemon, a senior in the State 
University of Indiana, began a correspondence with William L. Lockwood, 
of the Alpha Chapter at Miami University, with a view to the estab¬ 
lishment of a chapter of Sigma Chi. It was then too late to obtain 
the approval of the different chapters, four in number, before the close of 
the college year. Assurance, however, was given that there would be no 
opposition, and all the preliminaries were completed before the opening of 
the next session. Every movement was kept exceedingly quiet, only five 
intimate friends sharing in the secret These friends were Alexander D. 
Lemon, Byford E. Long, Joseph G. McPheeters, James H. Strong and 
William W. Schermerhorn. A petition with their signatures was forwarded 
to Alpha Chapter, and, having received the unanimous approval of the 
fraternity, a charter, dated September 30, 1858, and inscribed with their 
names, was granted. In the meantime, A. Homer Lemon and Simon Green 
were admitted into the little band, and although their names do not appear 
on the charter, they must be considered among the founders. 

“ Our first meeting,” relates A. D. Lemon, in a letter written in 1882, 
•“ was held under a broad-spreading beech, one-half mile due west of the 
college. No finer nor more grateful shade ever covered seven more hope¬ 
ful boys. The future was to us a great sea unexplored, which hope filled 
with rich pearls, and though twenty-four years have passed in the resistless 
march of time, Sigma Chi, in memory and in enduring influence, is a bright 
and unfading star in the crown of sacred memories that cluster about dear 
alma mater.” The first regular chapter meeting was held in the old county 
library room, in a small building still standing by the court house. Here 
the officers were first elected, and the first new members pledged. Beta 
Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta were the only rivals, and the number of 
students in the University was large, thus permitting a careful selection of 
members. It was not customary at this time, or for long afterward, for the 
Greek societies of the West to rent halls for their especial use ; and thus for 
many years the chapter had no regular place of meeting. During the first 
year the county library room was a favorite resort. Then for twelve years 
the meeting place moved in a circle, from one member’s room to another. 
It was not uncommon, in the pleasant days of spring or autumn, for the 
members to gather in some leafy and sheltered retreat in the neighboring 
groves of the city. More than once the minutes are headed “ Hunter’s 
Grove,” and “Hardin’s Thicket.” It was not till 1870 that a hall was 
secured and dedicated to the sole use of the fraternity.

The career of the Lambda has been uniformly prosperous. Only 
when the clouds of civil strife began to lower, and the students everywhere 
abandoned their college work, did the chapter experience a serious reduc¬ 
tion in her membership. The call of country was paramount to all other 
ties, and Lambda’s members were not slow to obey the summons. On the 
restoration of peace very few of those who entered the service returned to 
complete their course. Two found the sad beauty of dying for their coun¬ 
try. Thomas Wilson Zook fell wearing the White Cross on his bosom. 
With beautiful delicacy of feeling the Confederate general returned the 
badge to his parents at Waynetown, Ind. Levi Percy Mayer left college in 
his sophomore year, and died at Fortress Monroe in 1865. The full effect 
of the war was not seriously felt till 1867, when, mainly by graduation, the 
chapter was reduced to one member, Henry C. Duncan. Strong men, 
however, were soon rallied to his support, Youche, Foland, and others who 
were teaching, returned to swell the ranks, and the chapter was soon upon 
as strong a basis as ever. 

For many years, down to 1870, it was the custom of the chapter to 
hold an alumni reunion and banquet. Four reunions are quite famous in 
the annals of the chapter. The literary exercises on these occasions were 
open to the public, and, as the speakers were well known, attracted consid¬ 
erable audiences and reflected much credit upon the fraternity. The first 
of these took place June 26, 1861, and was addressed by William W. 
Fosdick, a member of the Alpha, and the poet of the first convention of the 
fraternity, with a timely poem on the “ Progress of Liberty.” Mr. Fosdick’s 
life was only too brief for the ripening of his splendid gifts. He died in 1862. 
His best known production is the “ Cavaliers of the Cross.” The second 
occurred on June 27, 1854, and this time William H. Riley, a member of 
the Xi and a well known elocutionist, was the speaker. The Hon. Charles 
Evans was the orator at the third reunion, June 29, 1868 ; while Prof. J. 
Wickliffe Jackson, the poet of the Washington convention of 1866, read a 
poem. At the last of these occasions, in 1870, the Rev. Dr. R. J. Keeling 
delivered an address on the “ Responsibility of Educated Men.” 

The period between 1870 and 1880 was one of exceeding interest and 
importance in the history of Lambda Chapter. It was occupied largely 
in a struggle with rival fraternities for supremacy. One or two of these 
rivals were older, larger in membership and stronger in purse. Beyond this 
Lambda conceded nothing to her rivals. She had set up a standard of 
excellence in which mere numbers and the ability to spend money scarcely 
had a part. Brains, with industry, courage and personal honor was the 
mark to be aimed at—first the rock and frame-work, afterwards the finish 
and the decoration. The struggle was a fierce one, but the latter part of 
the decade found Sigma Chi in the ascendant. The rigorous methods of 
Lambda in preparing her members for public exercise had borne fruit.

Their literary and forensic excellence became a distinguishing feature and 
compelled the recognition, not only of friends, but of rivals as well. This 
may properly be termed the “ Iron Age ” in the history of Sigma Chi at 
Indiana University. About 1880, Lambda began to experience some of 
the comforts of life. From scant and poorly furnished apartments a 
change was made to a commodious and what then seemed an elegantly 
appointed hall. Carpets and easy chairs and pictured walls were actualities 
instead of dreams. And this might be regarded as the dawn of Lambda’s 
“ Golden Age,” for since then she has enjoyed a season of eminent and 
uninterrupted prosperity. In membership she has maintained a goodly 
number whose quality fails not when measured by the standard of long ago. 
In all the relations of the student to the University and to society, her 
members have won the brightest laurels. In the autumn of 1887, the chap¬ 
ter moved into Farrar Hall, a new and beautiful home, named in honor of 
one whose gentle memory is a loved and cherished heritage. To Mrs. J. 
L. Farrar, the noble mother of him who sleeps in the beautiful cemetery at 
Peru, Indiana, the chapter owes a debt of lasting gratitude. To her splen¬ 
did munificence is due much of the luxurious elegance of Farrar Hall. 

The career of Lambda has been signally successful. Her members 
have received a full share of college honors, and have occupied high rank 
in the class room and society. Nineteen honorary members have been 
elected. The honors of the University are those of the two literary socie¬ 
ties, the Philomathian and the Athenian. These consist, in each society, of 
six spring speakers, one anniversarian and an assistant, two contest per¬ 
formers, one Washington’s Birthday orator and one valedictorian. The 
records of the Philomathian Society were destroyed in the fire of 1883, so 
that it is only possible to give complete reports of the Athenian. In the 
exhibitions of this latter society, Sigma Chi has been represented by thirty- 
six spring speakers, fourteen anniversarians, sixteen contest performers, 
nine valedictorians and four Washington’s Birthday orators. In the Philo¬ 
mathian, since 1880, Sigma Chi has been represented by ten spring speakers, 
four anniversarians, five contest performers, one valedictorian and two 
Washington’s Birthday orators. There have been, since 1880, three presi¬ 
dents of the local Oratorical Association, six delegates to the Conventions of 
the Indiana State Oratorical Association, and six contest speakers to repre¬ 
sent Sigma Chi. Four times has Lambda represented the University in the 
State Oratorical Contest, and twice in the contests of the Inter-State Ora¬ 
torical Association. At Indiana University Sigma Chi meets the fraterni¬ 
ties of Beta Theta Pi (1845); Phi Delta Theta (1849); Phi Kappa Psi (1869 ); 
Phi Gamma Delta (1870); Delta Tau Delta (1870-4 ; reestablished, 1887); 
Kappa Alpha Theta (1870-5); and Kappa Kappa Gamma (1873).

By a vote of the Ohio Baptist Educational Society in May, 1831, it was decided to 
establish a denominational educational institution, and to locate it at Granville, Licking 
County, Ohio. An act of incorporation was secured from the Legislature in February, 1832, 
in which its title was set forth as the “Granville Literary and Theological Institution.’' 
For a time, Rev. John Pratt was the sole instructor. Like many other institutions founded in 
the newly settled portions of our country, it had for years a struggling existence. In 1845 
it changed its name to that of “ Granville College and this again, in 1856, gave place to 
Denison University.” 

The University is, properly speaking, a college, furnishing the regular four-years course 
in classical, scientific and philosophical studies. Its work is similar to that of the better 
class of American colleges, and though entitled a university, it attempts no training in the 
purely professional studies. Its faculty has gradually been increased as its work demanded 
and funds allowed, from one professor to twelve, during its half century of existence. Rev. 
Galusha Anderson, D.D., LL.D., is its seventh President, his predecessors having been; 
Rev. John Pratt, A.M., 1831 to 1837 ; Rev. Jonathan Going, D.D., 1837 to 1847; Rev. 
Silas Bailey, D.D., 1847 to 1853; Rev. Jeremiah Hall, D.D., 1853 to 1863 ; Rev. Samson 
Talbot, D.D., 1863 to 1873 5 ^ ev * E. B. Andrews, A.M., 1875 to 1^79 ; Rev. A. Owen, 
D.D.. 1879 to 1886. 

The buildings are three in number, consisting of the College Hall, the Academy Hall and 
Doane Hall. The two first named are four stories high and afford dormitories and study and 
recitation rooms for a large number of students. Doane Hall was the gift of W. H. Doane, 
and was erected in 1879. The buildings, real estate and apparatus are estimated to be worth 
$100,000, and the productive endowment is something over $300,000. The library of the 
University contains nearly 14,000 volumes and 4,000 pamphlets, arranged and classified 
according to the Dewey system. About 200 students were in attendance during the year of 
1887-8. Granville Academy is the preparatory school for the college, and is under the 
management of its Board of Trustees. It has three courses of study—the Classical, the 
Scientific and the Academic. The last is designed for those not intending to enter the 
college proper. Each course extends over three years. 

It may be said of the University as a whole, that its most prosperous days have been 
within the last decade. Its future seems to be full of promise. It has a corps of faithful and 
well qualified instructors, and should receive the hearty support of its friends and alumni. 
The establishment by its side of “ Shepardson College for Women,” controlled by the same 
religious body, ought to make Granville the Baptist Mecca for those of that denomination 
seeking educational facilities for their sons and daughters. It is a denominational school, 
although no sectarian tests or discriminations are made. Regularity and punctuality are 
required, and rigid examinations determine the fitness of students for continuing in their 
respective classes and finally receiving their degrees.

THE ML). 


Mu Chapter is a child of circumstance. In the spring of 1867, a 
chapter of the Phi Kappa Lambda fraternity had been established in 
Denison by Henry A. Wise, a student from the University of Michigan. 
There already existed in the University a law prohibiting the formation of 
any society without the consent of the faculty, and without the transmis¬ 
sion of a copy of the constitution to the President for approval. Naturally 
the new society encountered the firm opposition of the faculty ; but this 
very opposition aroused the sympathy of six fellow-students, who deter¬ 
mined to lend assistance to the existing fraternity by introducing another 
order of the same nature. George C. Coon and J. B. Ellis were the mov¬ 
ing spirits of the proposed organization. The latter had a friend at the 
Ohio Wesleyan University, who was a member of Sigma Chi, and through 
whose advice a petition was drawn up and forwarded to the Gamma Chap¬ 
ter in October, 1867. Until the war broke out, Denison had drawn much 
of her patronage from the South, and in common with many other colleges 
at that time, her attendance was notably lessened for several years. At the 
time the petition was presented she had not yet regained her former prestige, 
and because of the paucity of students, she was not too highly regarded by 
her more prosperous neighbors. Much delay accompanied the granting of 
the charter. A committee was sent from Delaware to investigate the char¬ 
acter of the petitioners and the standing of the institution, and it was not 
until the Spring of 1868 that the long-looked for document arrived. On it 
are found the names of Joseph G. Dye, George C. Coon, John B. Ellis, 
Charles L. Allen, Robert G. Howell, and Read L. Bell. The evening of 
March 2 was set for the installation of the new chapter. A large frame 
building in the eastern part of the village, still standing, and known as the 
“ Old Water Cure,” was selected as the scene of the ceremonies, and C. W. 
B. Webster, J. B. Huffman and Peter F. Swing constituted the committee 
from Gamma who were to induct the petitioners into the mysteries of the 
Greek world. Of the initiation George C. Coon says : “ Webster, Huff¬ 
man and Swing, as we afterward learned, were the brightest men in Dela¬ 
ware College. We were prepared for them, and as between the three men 
from Delaware and the six from D. U., it has never been fully determined 
as to who or which were initiated. They came with an apparent air of 
self-consciousness of the superiority of Delaware students over those at 
Denison. But they were gentlemen and scholars, and the few hours of that 
initiation impressed them with the truth that the students of Denison were 
the peers of those of any other college in the land.” Their report to the 



DENISON UNIVERSITY.

chapter at Delaware when they returned was brief and to the point: 
** They’ll do. We never met a finer set of fellows in our lives.” 

The fact that a chapter of Sigma Chi had been established in the 
college was not certainly known until two months later, when, immediately 
upon their arrival, six white crosses were swung openly. The very boldness 
of the men lessened the opposition. They were seen to be determined in 
their purpose, and the college could ill afford to lose even a half dozen of 
its best students. The members of the young chapter determined to win 
their way by the faithful discharge of duty. How well they succeeded may 
be inferred from the words of Tutor Rogers, their most bitter opponent, 
who, upon being asked why he offered such opposition, replied that he did 
so because he, as a member of the faculty, was opposed to any organiza¬ 
tion of students “ to whom the faculty were compelled to take off their 
hats.” Early in the history of the chapter a hall was secured and meetings 
were regularly held. The literary features—essays, orations and original 
discussion—were especially cultivated, and the chapter enjoyed a marked 
degree of prosperity. It is worthy of record, however, that Phi Kappa 
Lambda (afterward granted a charter by Beta Theta Pi), as an organiza¬ 
tion, met Sigma Chi with hostile front, and ever afterward held that 
attitude. Only now and then did the smothered opposition of the faculty 
exhibit itself, as on one occasion when it was desired to initiate a student 
who was receiving financial aid through that body. Immediately upon his 
initiation this aid was withdrawn; but the newly-fledged Sigma was carried 
through the remainder of his college course by his generous brothers, and 
is now an honor to the institution and his chapter, as well as a sterling 
proof of the real brotherhood of Sigma Chi. In the winter of ’71-2 it was 
noticed that the fraternity men were chiefly in the higher classes, and the 
trustees determined to strike a decisive blow at the Greek society system. 
Accordingly, at their next meeting, in June, 1872, the following by-law was 
passed : 

“ It shall be unlawful for any student connected with the Preparatory 
Department to become a member of any college fraternity or other secret- 
bound college society. Every applicant for admission into any of the 
college classes shall, before his examination for the same, be required to 
sign a pledge that he will not become a member of any college fraternity or 
other secret-bound college society during his connection with the Univer¬ 
sity. Any student who violates this regulation shall be considered as hav¬ 
ing forfeited his place in the University, and shall be immediately dis¬ 
missed.” 

Mu had forseen the coming storm, and had wisely filled her ranks as 
far back as possible, so that it was not until the class of 1876 graduated 
that Sigma Chi at Denison, in acquiescence to law, handed up her charter, 
and the white crosses disappeared entirely. But death does not end all.

THE MU. 


The principles implanted by nature, though stifled for a time, will reassert 
themselves. Unrighteous laws will, of their own accord, fall into disrepute 
and gradually become a dead letter. The enforcement of the anti frater¬ 
nity law having become less vigorous, H. R. Keeler and J. F. Brundige, 
who were preparatory students during the last year of the chapter’s exist¬ 
ence, interested themselves in its former history and decided to revive it. 
While thus deliberating, they were requested to enter into a similar scheme 
for Beta Theta Pi, but declined the proposition. The revival of Sigma Chi 
had also suggested itself to E. E. Ferris, who, with characteristic energy, 
began at once to look for some one to aid him in his plans. Strange to 
relate, the very first one he approached on the subject was J. F. Brundige. 
These joined hands in the enterprise, gathered together a few kindred 
spirits, and, through the recommendation of Ferris’ brother, Howard, 
already an enthusiastic Sigma, a new charter was soon obtained. All 
arrangements having been completed, Mu was formally inaugurated for the 
second time, in February, 1880, with the following re-charter members : 
John F. Brundige, Elmer E. Ferris, Harvey R. Keeler, Frank J. Warden, 
Charles M. Taylor and Jerry H. Kenney. This time also the initiatory 
ceremonies were performed by a committee from Gamma, consisting of 
Messrs. Thompson, Davis, Hume, Smith and Pratt. “ It was,” writes a 
charter member, “ a bitter cold night. Our lady friends had concluded 
to give a leap-year dance, to which all of us were escorted by our fair 
partners. While we were enjoying the occasion until the wee sma* hours 
at Major Buxton’s, the Delaware boys, who had spirited themselves into 
the village, were waiting at Kenney’s room. About two o’clock the ladies 
took us home in their carriages, but we immediately stole back to the 
village, met the boys and started for the hall of the Franklin Literary 
Society, of which Keeler was then President. Here we were closeted in 
utter darkness, and led, one by one, as sheep to the slaughter. Who of the 
six does not vividly recall the scene ? The trying ordeal was safely passed. 
A bounteous repast was served, and we hastily dispersed, for the sun’s rays 
were breaking over the eastern hills. Sigma Chi had been born again, and 
though weary in well doing, we were happy.” 

Beta Theta Pi had succeeded in resuscitating herself shortly before, 
and the two chapters were thus running sub rosa. To avert suspicion, Mu 
had no regular time nor place of meeting, but met at such times as were 
deemed most suitable—now at one another’s rooms, or with Bro. Kerr in 
the Granville Female College parlors, or still more frequently on Prof. 
Gilpatrick’s old stone-quarry hill, made famous by many a villainous con¬ 
spiracy. With the advent of a new college president in 1880, a more liberal 
policy began to prevail; and in June, 1881, as if to add interest to the semi¬ 
centennial of the University, the Board of Trustees formally repealed the 
statutes hostile to fraternities, amid the general rejoicing of college men.

The chapter at once sought a hall for lodge purposes. Through the gener¬ 
osity of alumni, a very commodious and convenient suite of rooms in the 
Jones’ Block was neatly fitted up at a cost of about four hundred dollars. 
They proved a great advantage to the chapter, and from their walls it is 
possible to translate a good deal of unwritten history of the initiations of 
the last decade. These rooms have recently been abandoned for still 
choicer ones in the Robinson building, which have been newly furnished 
throughout with upholstered furniture, piano, etc. The library, containing 
a complete file of The Sigma Chi —the gift of R. J. Thresher—is also highly 
prized by the chapter. Mu’s alumni have been loyal, not only to the 
chapter, but to the fraternity at large, occupying seats in its highest coun¬ 
cils and assisting in the administration of its affairs. There is scarcely a 
name on the Sigma Chi roster better known than that of Howard Ferris, the 
first Grand Consul of the fraternity under its present form of government. 
Among all those whose energy, enthusiasm and ability have contributed to 
the success of Sigma Chi, few have given so liberally as he, and upon none 
has the fraternity bestowed more of its gratitude and popular regard. 
Under the transitional government of 1882, Mu was honored with the Grand 
Tribuneship ; and twice since then has the Grand Prsetor of the Third 
Province been chosen from among its members. B. F. McCann was- 
selected to represent the Grand Council in the investigations which led 
to the establishment of the Alpha Rho at Lehigh University, and in many 
ways has been active in the practical work of the fraternity. Mu has sent 
a representative to the majority of the Biennial Conventions, and had the 
pleasure of entertaining the chapters of the Third Province at its first 
Provincial Convention, held February 18 and 19, 1886. 

The University offers no special honors except the Samson-Talbot 
prizes of forty and twenty dollars for reading. In the two years these 
prizes have been offered, Mu has taken one first and two seconds. In the 
four years that Denison has belonged to the State Oratorical Association, 
Sigma Chi has had the President and Treasurer of the Association, has 
twice represented the University in the State Contest and sent the alternate 
both other years. Since the establishment of the Collegian in 1869 (whose 
editors are elected annually) the chapter has been represented by fifteen 
editors and ten publishers, and under the system introduced in 1885, Mu. 
has been honored three times with the office of Editor-in-Chief. Of the 
Franklin Literary Society, to which nearly all of the fraternity men in 
college have belonged during the past fifteen years, sixteen presidents have 
been Sigmas; and no public entertainment has been given without Mu’s 
representation—reaching sometimes as high as five of the six speakers. 

The chapter, from its very inception, has been exceedingly popular in 
the village. Its members, generous in action, gentlemanly in conduct and 
studious in habit, have won for it an enviable reputation in all its various 


182 


THE MU. 


relations. Out of a total membership of nearly one hundred, there has been 
but one expulsion. Bitter rivalry followed the re-establishment of the 
chapter. Rivals they were, too, whose ability was not to be despised ; but 
Mu’s policy was aggressive, and though greatly outnumbered, the campus, 
literary hall, and social circle, one after the other, yielded up their palms 
to Sigma’s victors. Honesty of purpose, the careful discharge of duty, 
and the possession of real merit, formed the secret of their success, and 
laid the foundation of their present prosperity. The conquests have been 
made in open field and fair fight. Who of its members shall ever forget 
them? Who would if he could? “ Parnassus ” and “ Sugar Loaf” might 
echo to other voices in the crisp moonlight, but to none so welcome or so 
joyous as those of Sigma Chi. Lily-white hands in the Young Ladies Insti¬ 
tute and G. F. C., might applaud other sentiments, but none so readily nor 
so heartily as those of the Blue and Gold. A thousand scenes arise and 
demand recognition,—a thousand incidents that cannot be told. Dye’s oil 
scheme, Andrew’s cider barrel, Kerr’s oysters, and Suydam’s ice cream, 
deserve their separate chapters. We may chronicle events, but Mu’s real 
history is written only in memory—yet cherished in many hearts.

W/\SRINGTOH college. 


Washington Academy, from which Washington College sprung, was chartered by the 
Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1787. It was located in the borough and county of Wash¬ 
ington, in that state, and was opened for students in 1789, under the Rev. Thaddeus Dodd. 
The stone building erected for this school is still standing. In 1805, Rev. Matthew Brown 
became its principal, and under his management it so prospered that in 1806 its friends 
secured for it a college charter. It had a prosperous career for more than half a century. A 
generous rivalry grew up between it and Jefferson College, at Canonsburg, seven miles dis¬ 
tant. The friends and alumni of each college put forth special efforts to secure students. 
At one time as many as four hundred classical students were enrolled at Washington. 

The support, until 1853, was almost, if not wholly, derived from tuition fees. In that 
year, both Jefferson and Washington sought to secure endowments and to increase their num¬ 
ber of students by the sale of scholarships. The amount realized from this source for 
Washington College was $50,475. The immediate effect of their use was to cut off all 
tuition fees and leave the college entirely dependent upon the income of $50,000,—a sum 
entirely too small to meet expenses. As already stated, in the sketch of Jefferson College, 
this condition of things resulted in its union with Jefferson. At the time of the uniting of 
the two colleges, after paying the indebtedness of each, there remained $91,081 of their 
endowments. This came to the united institution at Washington. Immediately thereafter 
financial aid began to be extended. The Rev. C. C. Beatty, D.D., bestowed upon it $105,000, 
Dr. J. F. Le Moyne gave it $41,000, and the citizens of Washington added $43,716, to be 
used in erecting new buildings. Other smaller gifts followed until there is now, beside 
necessary buildings and grounds valued at over $100,000, a productive endowment fund of 
over a quarter of a million of dollars. The scholarships are being exhausted, and the finan¬ 
cial outlook is good. 

Both Washington and Jefferson received large patronage from the South before the 
civil war. This was lost at that time and has not since been recovered. The union of the 
two Colleges was not unanimously accepted and litigation followed, which ended only with 
the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court. During this litigation Jefferson College was 
practically in abeyance, and the uncertainty of the result almost destroyed the college work 
at Washington. 

Under the Presidency of Rev. George P. Hayes, D.D., beginning in 1870, the college 
again commenced to prosper, and the number of students increased. Since that time the 
growth has been steady in all directions. No attempt has been made to go beyond a college. 
It has a classical and a scientific course, each leading to a degree. Its work is thorough, its 
discipline good, its spirit thoroughly Christian. While not sectarian in any narrow sense, it 
is wholly under the influence and control of the Presbyterian denomination, and receives its 
support very largely from that body. W ashington College before the union, had graduated 846 
students, and since the union 597 more have gone forth, which, added to the 1890 of Jeffer¬ 
son, makes a total of 3,333 graduates of the united institutions, besides the thousands who 
received partial and special training. The present corps of instructors numbers thirteen, and 
the roll of students numbers 222. Ladies are not admitted to the institution, there being a 
ladies seminary in the town under separate management. The list of graduates contains the 
names of many who have filled important stations in life. James G. Blaine, himself an 
alumnus of Washington, once wrote, “ During my service of eighteen years in Congress, I 
met a larger number of alumni of Washington and Jefferson than of any other single college 
in the Union.” The name of the united institution is “ Washington and Jefferson College.”

THE ORIGINAL NU. 


THE ORIGINAL H^. 


The exact date of the founding of the original Nu chapter at Washing¬ 
ton College has been a matter of some uncertainty ; but it now seems clear 
that it occurred during the Spring of 1859. The application for a charter 
was drawn up on May 3, 1859, and was signed by David C. Wilson, John C. 
Meloy and Samuel M. Henderson. The records of Gamma show that, on 
May 7, 1859, the chapter voted in favor of granting the petition ; and 
the Nu was instituted by a committee from Iota, one of whom was a 
member of the class of ’59 and graduated during the following month. 
The following extract from a letter of Rev. J. C. S. Weills, who is so widely 
known to the fraternity from his invaluable services in the preparation of 
this Catalogue, contains several matters of interest: “ I have received a 

letter from the Rev. David C. Wilson, of Clarinda, Iowa, who must have 
any honor resulting from the. establishment of the ‘old ’ Nu Chapter, and 
also of doing the preparatory work in establishing the chapter at Pennsyl¬ 
vania College, at Gettysburg, Pa. The date of the establishment of the 
chapter at Washington, Bro. Wilson says, was in the Fall of 1858. This 
must be so, for I was initiated in the Fall session of 1859, an d I know that 
it had been the talk of the college the winter before. Wilson says the 
origin of Nu was as follows : ‘ I had an acquaintance at Jefferson College 

by the name of W. S. Stewart, who became a Sig ; and, being in Washing¬ 
ton one day, we met and he proposed to me that I get up a chapter. I 
took the subject under consideration, and after surveying the field over I 
took into my confidence Sam. Henderson and John C. Meloy, and after 
some correspondence with the chapter at Jefferson, they sent up a delega¬ 
tion and organized the chapter with us three and no more. The men who 
came up at that time from Jefferson were W. S. Stewart, Henry Wallace 
and Samuel E. Vance.” From the records of the Iota it would appear that 
the birth of Nu occurred after the fourth of May, 1859, as Wallace, McPher¬ 
son and Patterson, of Iota, were on that date appointed a committee to go 
to Washington in the interests of the proposed chapter. 

The chapter immediately initiated a number of the most influential 
men in the college, who gave it prestige from the very beginning. They 
waited until their numbers had reached quite imposing proportions, and all 
came out with their badges, creating the sensation of the college year. The 
prosperity of the chapter continued down to 1863, when the war and finan¬ 
cial troubles had reduced the attendance of the institution from three hun¬ 
dred to not more than fifty. Very few desirable men were entering college.

and both Washington and Jefferson colleges were so vitally affected that 
they temporarily laid aside the rivalry of half a century, and each made 
overtures to the other for union. At this juncture Nu was suddenly crippled 
by the departure of the majority of its members to enter the Union army. 
Iota was flourishing at Canonsburg, only seven miles away; and in view 
of the prospective union of the two colleges, it was thought best to remove 
all possible jealousies by discontinuing the younger and then weaker of the 
two chapters, which would thus be brought together. The charter and 
constitution were passed into the custody of Iota ; and, according to the 
minutes of the latter chapter for May 28, 1863, they were sent by Iota’s 
delegate to the approaching Biennial Convention. Several members of.the 
fraternity continued to be members of the college until a somewhat later 
period, but no further initiations were made at Washington. The rival¬ 
ries of the two institutions were soon more bitter than ever ; the feeling 
became so intense that the members of Iota refused to accept the ulti¬ 
mate decision which located the united institution at Washington ; and 
when Jefferson finally removed from Canonsburg Sigma Chi did not 
go with it. During its brief career the Nu had been active in the work of 
the fraternity; and Sigma Chi has been indebted to it since for a splendid 
chapter roll, embracing some of its best and most devoted members. A 
list of the fraternities at Washington and Jefferson College is given under 
the historical sketch of Iota.

CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY. 


Lebanon is a beautifully located town, thirty miles east of Nashville, Tennessee. It 
has a population of nearly three thousand, and is, in many respects, a desirable place for edu¬ 
cational institutions. Cumberland University gives to and receives from the town influences 
that are refining and morally invigorating. The people of the place are devoted to the interests 
of their schools, and the schools give forth in return social and material treasures to the people. 
The University includes a Preparatory School, an Academic School (with courses ending in 
the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philoso¬ 
phy), an Engineering School, a Law School and a Theological School. All are said to be 
well equipped with needed facilities for giving successful instruction. The Cumberland 
Presbyterian General Assembly, for some years prior to 1842, had been giving their 
patronage to Cumberland College, at Princeton, Kentucky. In that year, in consequence of a 
debt that hindered its progress, this patronage was withdrawn and given to Cumberland Uni¬ 
versity, located at Lebanon, Tennessee, which was opened in September, 1842. The 
University grew in favor and was unusually prosperous until the war caused it to suspend 
in 1861. After the war it was re-organized, and its facilities have been increased from year to 
year. In the four regular college classes during 1887-8, there were 82 students, and in the 
Preparatory School 109, a total of 191 pursuing academical studies. The Theological School 
was founded in 1853. It has a corps of five instructors. The course of study extends over 
two years. 38 students have been in attendance within the year. The Law Department was 
opened in 1847. Judge Abraham Caruthers resigned his seat upon the bench in order to 
assume the position of professor. The first term he had seven students. He was an able 
judge and a successful teacher. The school soon became a very great success. In 1852, Judge 
N. Green, Sr., then one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the State, resigned his office 
and became the associate of Judge Caruthers in teaching. Shortly afterward, N. Green, Jr., 
the present Chancellor, was added to the corps of teachers. These three composed the faculty 
until 1861, at the breaking out of the war. There were at that time one hundred and eighty 
students in the Law School alone. The number has not since been so large. More than 
two thousand young men have been instructed in the law, and about one thousand have 
graduated. They have in many ways brought honor to their alma mater. They are found 
at the bar and on the bench, and in both houses of Congress. 

The total attendance for 1887-8 in all departments was two hundred and ninety, and 
the number of Professors, Academical, Theological and Law, at this time, is fourteen. The 
value of grounds, buildings and apparatus is estimated at $50,000. The endowment yielding 
income is $75,000, and the unproductive endowment is $55,000.

THE NU. 


THE 


The second Nu Chapter of Sigma Chi was established in December, 
1872, through the efforts of Charles H. Wood, of the Tau. The original 
Nu Chapter, at Washington College, had disbanded during the previous 
decade ; and when the petition was received from Cumberland University, 
the fraternity thought to fill its vacant place by transferring its title to the 
then leading institution of Tennessee. Cumberland University had been 
one of the very foremost of Southern colleges. Beta Theta Pi had estab¬ 
lished a chapter there in 1854; and during the four years between 1857 
and the beginning of the war, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Delta Phi, Delta 
Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Chi Phi, and Phi Kappa Psi 
had come to swell the list of rivals to proportions most unusual. The war 
killed three of these, but Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Gamma Delta 
promptly filled the vacant ranks, so that Sigma Chi, in 1872, entered one 
of the most hotly contested fields of rivalry she has ever known. 

Associated with Wood, as charter members of the chapter, were Pascal 
A. Tutwiler, of the Psi, and Raymond H. Taylor. The former experience 
of Wood and Tutwiler was of great value. They soon attracted to their 
companionship and support many of the most desirable students in the 
University ; and for three years the chapter was one of the' largest and 
most prosperous in the fraternity. The fame ot the law department of 
Cumberland spread far and wide throughout the South. For many years it 
had been the especial glory of the institution ; and largely in it Sigma Chi 
found a membership of splendid fellows, bright and aggressive, who were 
able to sustain a flourishing chapter despite the rapidly decreasing attend¬ 
ance and the struggle of rivals for existence. In 1873, Delta Kappa Epsi¬ 
lon and Alpha Tau Omega died, to be followed by Chi Phi in 1874. The 
fortunes of the University, however, continued to wane ; and in the Fall of 
1875, the influx of new students was so small and promised so little desir¬ 
able material that Sigma Chi refused to initiate any one during that college 
year; so that when the class of 1876 graduated the chapter w r ould have 
become extinct, had it not been for the return of Arthur Low to complete 
the law course. Low initiated but one student, James H. B. Hall, of the 
class of 1878, and left with him the papers of the chapter. Before graduat¬ 
ing, Hall initiated William W. Prater, of the class of 1879, who turn 
initiated Amos D. Hunt. A final effort to revive the chapter was considered 
in 1880; but it was finally determined to abandon the attempt. The fate 
of the chapter was due almost wholly to the then declining fortunes of the

college, caused in turn by the fierce rivalry of Vanderbilt University, in the 
neighboring city of Nashville. The other fraternities shared a similar fate. 
Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi died in 1878, and Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon (though since revived) in 1879. Beta Theta Pi held on for the 
purpose of using its Cumberland chapter to gain an entrance into Vander¬ 
bilt, where an active chapter could not be conducted on account of strin¬ 
gent anti-fraternity regulations. The following is a list of the rivals of 
Sigma Chi at Cumberland University : Beta Theta Pi (1854); Delta Kappa. 
Epsilon (1857-73) ; Delta Psi, 1858-61 ; Alpha Delta Phi (1858-61) ; Phi 
Kappa Sigma (1859-61); Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1859) i Phi Kappa Psi 
(1860-78) ; Chi Phi (1861-74); Alpha Tau Omega (1867); Phi Gammai 
Delta (1870-78) ; and Kappa Sigma.

t)E PAbW UNIVERSITY. 


This most prosperous and promising institution is located at Greencastle, a quiet and 
healthful town of five thousand inhabitants, in the centre of the State of Indiana. The 
Methodist Episcopal Conference, of the State of Indiana, determined in 1832 that it would 
open a school for advanced instruction, and three years afterward carried its resolution 
into effect by opening “The Indiana Asbury University.” Two years later it received a 
liberal charter. In 1839 its first regularly organized faculty was instituted, and the following 
year it sent forth its first graduates. During the next forty years its work was almost wholly 
occupied in building up the college in its classical and scientific departments. In 1881 its 
Trustees found themselves seriously in debt upon their buildings and in great need of 
further equipments ; one half of the endowment suddenly became non-productive and the 
remaining half yielded only a diminished sum, owing to a reduced rate of interest. In this 
extremity, the Hon. W. C. De Pauw, of New Albany, Indiana, a member of Sigma Chi, who 
for some yem'S had been one of its Board of T rustees, came to its relief. With princely liberality, 
upon conditions which were accepted, he gave the large sum of $240,000. The conditions 
imposed brought an additional sum of $180,000 to the University. It at once was beyond 
financial embarrassment and making rapid strides to the fulfillment of the brightest hopes of its 
most ardent friends. In gratitude the name was changed, in 1884, to “ De Pauw University.” 
Its benefactor died in 1887, and in his will he enlarged his donations to such an extent that 
the total of them is nearly $2,000,000. 

Very remarkable has been the progress of this institution. Commencing in a small 
rented building of two rooms, it to-day possesses nine large edifices, exceptionally suited to 
their intended work. At first owning not a foot of ground, it now has five beautiful parks, 
four of which are in the centre of the town and embrace twenty-four acre 5, and the fifth 
lying partly within the corporate limits, contains one hundred and twenty acres. From a 
faculty of four, there has grown a corps of forty-one professors and instructors. From an 
attendance of thirty-nine, there is now a roll-call of 852 students. From a strictly collegiate 
course, it has expanded into nine co ordinate schools, in which 16,748 students have received 
instruction. It is rich in libraries, biological, chemical and physical laboratories, and all 
the appliances of advanced instruction. 

As at present organized, the University includes: (1) the Asbury College of Liberal 
Arts, including four parallel courses, the Classical, Philosophical, Scientific and that of Lit¬ 
erature and Art; (2) the School of Theology ; (3) the School of Law ; (4) the School of Mili¬ 
tary Science ; (5) the School of Music ; (6) the School of Fine Arts ; (7) the School of Horti¬ 
culture ; (8) the Normal School ; (9) the Preparatory School ; (10) the School of Medicine, 
which is planned but not organized. Space will not admit of extended notice of these 
separate departments, nor of the buildings. Tuition is free except in the Schools of Law, 
Music and Art, and in these it is very moderate. Among the graduates of its first decade 
the names of Joseph E. McDonald, ex-U. S. Senator; Daniel W. Voorhees, U. S. Senator; 
Albert G. Porter, ex-Governor, all of Indiana; and Newton Booth, ex-U. S. Senator and ex- 
Governor of California, appear.

THE XI. 


On June first, of this year 1889, Xi Chapter celebrated the thirtieth 
anniversary of its existence. The members who participated therein have 
the satisfaction of looking back over a record not only gratifying to them 
and their predecessors, but one the beginning of which dates from the time 
when Greek-letter fraternities were yet in comparative infancy. A thirty- 
year-old fraternity chapter in the West is quite a venerable institution. 
With an origin predating the war, and with only a temporary suspension of 
activity since, the pages of Xi’s history are full of interest to its members ; 
but the story of its origin and early life as picked up from chance letters 
and early documents is not wholly satisfactory. 

Preceding the establishment of the chapter the fraternity element in 
the student life of Asbury College, more recently De Pauw University, was 
divided in allegiance between two chapters only of the ten that now exist. 
These were Beta Theta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta. Of recent years there 
has been within each of these an apparent antagonistic disposition, which 
seems to have characterized them even so far back as thirty years ago, and 
out of this rivalry came the suggestion of another fraternity in the school, 
although there may have been other grounds for it in the active life and 
increasing attendance of the college. In February of ’59 a member of 
Lambda Chapter, at Bloomington, less than thirty miles distant from Green- 
castle, visited Asbury. His name was Joseph G. McPheeters, well-known 
then and since for his active interest in Sigma Chi. It is not known whether 
he came for the purpose of founding another branch of his fraternity, but 
as those who afterward established a chapter, largely through him, never 
intimated that his visit was other than one of the chance ones the students 
of the two colleges were continually making, it is only fair to look for 
the first suggestion of the chapter in an accident. However, the real founder 
and promoter of Sigma Chi at Asbury does not take such a commonplace 
view of the matter. The father of Xi Chapter was Patrick O’Bannon 
Hawes, a member of the Congress of 1874, and now a prominent resident of 
Omaha, Nebraska. Hawes was largely instrumental in bringing about the 
reputation of Sigma Chi in the West. Certainly in those early days no one 
took more interest in his own chapter or in the fraternity at large than did he. 
At the time he conceived the idea of establishing a chapter at Asbury Col¬ 
lege he was twenty years old. After his brief connection with the chapter, 
when he went to. the front with the first lot of students from his college, he 
enlisted as a private in the 14th Indiana Volunteers. In a year he was 



DE PAUW UNIVERSITY. 


207 


second lieutenant, and left the army in another year, having served as first 
lieutenant and captain. Writing recently of the first days of the chapter, he 
says : “ The first appearance of the White Cross at old Asbury, like all great 
events, was a necessity, just as the fall of the Bastile and the death of Louis 
XVI were necessary for the first empire ; this necessity was on account 
of the conduct of the Beta Theta Pi and the Phi Gamma Delta.” Probably 
instigated by the action of the Greek-letter bodies then in the institution, 
and taking advantage of the chance visit of McPheeters, he took the pre¬ 
liminary steps toward establishing a chapter ; for he says “ from McPheeters 
I obtained directions how to apply for a charter.” 

Establishing a chapter was in those days a much simpler proceeding in 
any fraternity than it is to-day, and although Judge Hawes began agitating 
the matter in February, by the first of commencement month he had associ¬ 
ated with himself the five others of the six original charter members, had 
prepared his petition and had succeeded in obtaining a charter. Framed and 
well preserved this yet hangs on the walls of the Chapter Hall, showing 
evidences of age, and suggestive of good-fellowhip, somewhat of adventure, 
and not a little of the struggle to perpetuate the society of the White 
Cross as one of the leading fraternities of old Asbury. It bears the date 
of June the 1st, 1859, was issued by the old Delaware Chapter; and on 
it appear the following names: Patrick O’Bannon Hawes, Hugh D. 
McMullen, Richard Sedwick Druley, William Sunderland Marshall, William 
Greene Burnett, and John Wallace Perry. All of the charter members, 
except Perry, ai^ yet alive, and all have since taken an interest in the wel¬ 
fare of the chapter. Druley, Marshall and Perry attained distinction as 
teachers, Burnett has achieved success in business, while Hawes and 
McMullen have won unusual honors at the bar. 

Three of these original Asbury Sigma Chis had little more than time 
to enroll their names before graduation. A few weeks after the inaugura¬ 
tion of the chapter, Perry, Marshall and Burnett left school; and it was 
really with the opening of the college in the year of ’59 and ’60 that the 
life of Xi chapter began. Even then this ante bellum chapter was little 
more than a brilliant introduction to Sigma Chi as it developed at Asbury 
succeeding the days that came so near permanently interrupting its career 
and that of so many older chapters. As long as the records of the chapter 
are in the keeping of an active member it can hardly be said that it is 
dead. Yet in spite of the creditable standing it attained in the two years 
following the granting of the charter, Xi came almost to extinction in 1862. 
In the Fall of 1859, Hawes, Druley and McMullen returned to college ; and 
between 1859 anc * 1862, by persistence and enterprise, these three active 
members had associated with themselves twenty-five of their fellow-stu¬ 
dents. Only a few of these graduated, but a Sigma Chi, who was not then 
a member of the chapter, writing of that period in recent years, says : 


208

a They were the pick and choice of the school. The chapter was a meteoric 
success, more dazzling than substantial, but withal leaving a trace in the 
progress of Greek fraternities at Asbury that will never be forgotten by the 
students and the alumni of that time.” A thing that no doubt augmented 
the local reputation of the chapter at this time was the election of a num¬ 
ber of honorary members who appear to have held and maintained a 
genuine interest in Sigma Chi affairs. These men probably had as much 
to do with the initiatory success of the Xi as any of the active members, 
and in the records of the chapter they have always been given a prominent 
place. 

At the conclusion of this period of three years came the war. Only 
one active member returned to college in the Fall of 1863, and after a 
month’s stay, he, like many others, concluded to go to the front. Beyond 
question D. M. Dobson was a most loylal and enthusiastic Sigma Chi. As 
the only member of the fraternity in college, he had in his possession the 
charter, seal, papers and other documents, constituting the chapter records. 
He was Xi Chapter with roll of one. It would have been easy enough to 
carry his papers away with him, with the intention and hope of some day 
returning to institute the chapter anew ; but rather than have its existence 
interrupted even temporarily, he began to look about for a successor. And 
it is well enough that he did, for two years later he met a murderous death 
at the hands of a negro at Somerville, Alabama, while still in the service. 
The student he selected at his successor was William A. Wilkins, then 
a member of the freshman class. The young man who took upon himself 
the task of perpetuating Sigma Chi at Asbury and successfully accom¬ 
plished it, was one of the bright students of the school, and a few years 
later, in becoming editor of the college paper, he gave ample proof of an 
ability that has since given him considerable journalistic distinction. At 
the present time he is one of the editors of the Indianapolis Journal. 

Concerning his first meeting with Dobson he has since written : “ It 
was during my freshman year, somewhere about the latter part of Novem¬ 
ber, 1863, that I entered the college chapel one morning to wait the hour 
of prayers, when Dobson came to me with the request to call at his room 
that afternoon. I did so, and after an hour or two of general conversation 
Dobson said : ‘ I intend to leave college, but I have in my charge the 
charter, seal, minute book and a few of the papers of the Xi Chapter of the 
Sigma Chi fraternity. With your permission I will proceed to initiate you 
into the mysteries of that order.’ After the proper view of the circum¬ 
stances under which this proposition was made, and weighing well the 
responsibility of becoming the holder of such valuables, I consented. The 
initiatory ceremonies were probably the shortest that had been performed 
in any secret society. They began and closed with Dobson going to his 
trunk and taking therefrom a large parcel which was transferred to my 


DE PAUW UNIVERSITY. 


209 


keeping. I had grown several inches in my own estimation during these 
very few minutes, and, as I bore the treasures to my room, I felt the danger 
of being waylaid by antagonistic factions and robbed of all evidence of Xi 
Chapter having once existed ; but the charter, seal and other papers were 
placed beyond detection, though for the remainder of that term they were 
within the easy reach of the supporter of another fraternity.” 

“ It was not long,” says Wilkins, “ before considerable speculation inter¬ 
ested the students, as to the probability of a revival of Sigma Chi affairs in 
Asbury. No positive knowledge was had that a member of that order was 
in college, but guess-work came very near the mark, and in a few weeks 
the holder of the fraternity secrets became a person under suspicion 
among the Barbarians, and no longer had the undisputed entrance to their 
councils.” 

The Spring of 1864 came on and not another member had been added 
to Xi. Fraternity interests prospered under the influence of Beta Theta Pi 
and Phi Gamma Delta alone ; but in the meantime Sigma Chi’s member¬ 
ship of one had not been idle in establishing close relations with the 
chapters to the East and especially with the Sigmas of Bloomington. At 
the latter institution Lambda Chapter had the first place. It was composed 
of students brilliant in letters and leading in scholarship; and the distance 
between Bloomington and Greencastle being short, frequent interchange of 
visits had a great deal to do at this time in helping Sigma Chi in the last 
named place, and subsequently was a pleasure and benefit to both. But 
swept along by the current then running fierce and strong, Xi Chapter was 
at last truly “ scattered by the war,” the sole member having enlisted 
after leaving the archives in the hands of Dr. Samuel Fisher, one of the 
most active of the honorary members. 

After an absence of a year, during which the chapter existed without 
an active member, Wilkins returned and at once went to work to build it 
up. Before commencement day of 1865 he had five new members. At the 
beginning of the next college year only three of these returned, but at the 
commencement of 1866 seven names appeared on the roll, and the reorgan¬ 
ized chapter had entered upon what has since been a continuous and, at 
least from the point of view of its members ? a reasonably prosperous and 
enviable existence. In ’67 the first member since ’62 graduated, and 
Wilkins, L. M. Crist and R. S. Gregory left the chapter. After its preca¬ 
rious career of the five years preceding this date, the commencement week 
of ’67 was a memorable one for the chapter. By the courtesy of the faculty 
it was given a Sigma Chi day, and on the programme arranged by the 
chapter were the names of the Rev. Dr. Parrot, of Dayton, Ohio, who 
delivered an oration, and John W. Jackson, of Wilmington, Del., who read a 
poem.

THE XI. 


From this time forward the chapter has enjoyed a career of almost 
uninterrupted prosperity. Its annual membership rose from fifteen to 
twenty-seven, and for a score of years varied but little more or less than 
twenty. Nearly all of these boys were natives of Indiana, coming from 
farms or the smaller towns,—boys who looked to and through college life 
as through a door, beyond which was the larger world into which they were 
ambitious to enter. The fraternity was their first taste of that world, in 
which men bind themselves together for common purposes of mutual good 
and for defense against rival and competitive forces, in which brotherly 
and helpful relations are formed, not merely by oaths and grips and cabal¬ 
istic signals, but more than all by common aims, tastes and ambitions and 
by generous impulses, which fraternity systems make permanent rather than 
momentary in duration. The fraternity took these young men and by its 
own separate forces of association taught them how to cooperate for prac¬ 
tical ends and gave invaluable lessons for success in after life. The most 
conspicuous member of the chapter from 1874 to 1876 was John S. McMillin, 
afterwards Grand Consul of the fraternity under the transitional govern¬ 
ment of 1882-4 and long an active leader of the entire order. Strong, able 
and enthusiastic, a fine judge of human nature, an expert politician, a most 
effective orator, his powerful influence was long felt in Xi Chapter, and 
under his leadership Sigma Chi became a strong political organization. 
On his graduation, in 1876, the chapter turned its attention more to becom¬ 
ing a literary and social force, without losing much of its political prestige ; 
and its efforts were rewarded by furnishing prize orators and essayists to the 
University for several years. A strong tendency to emphasize inter-chapter 
relations was manifested; and during the years from 1878 to i88i,largely under 
the leadership of Xi, the Indiana chapters were closely confederated together. 
Conventions and other entertainments were numerously attended by all of 
the chapters in the State ; and Sigma Chi then first acquired that dominant 
political influence in Indiana colleges which has not been wholly confined 
to academic halls. During these years the members of Xi were among the 
leaders of every class and among the successful contestants for literary, 
social and political distinction in the college community. During this 
period also the chapter was influential in all the councils of the fraternity 
and aggressively active in the promotion of its interests. McMillin and 
Coffroth and Mason were prominent in the legal and political struggles of 
Delta Delta at Purdue; and other individual members of the chapter, and 
indeed the chapter as a whole, rendered the fraternity invaluable services in 
that memorable contest, which later was crowned with signal victory for 
Sigma Chi. The chapter has never occupied a chapter house ; but a com¬ 
modious and comfortably furnished hall was secured in 1876, and has always 
been a pleasant meeting place and constant resort. After 1881 the Xi was 
scarcely so conspicuously prominent in Sigma Chi affairs as during the 


DE PAUW UNIVERSITY. 


21 I 


period immediately preceding ; but its general character and local prestige 
were well sustained. The chapter hall was elegantly furnished, and the 
evidences of confident prosperity were multiplied on every hand, until the 
college year of 1886-7, when differences of opinion as to the exercise of 
severe disciplinary measures interrupted the harmony of the chapter, and 
during the following session the membership was reduced to its lowest 
point since the days of Wilkins and the Civil War. But the heroic 
remedies then appealed to soon proved effectual, and the chapter 
is again prosperous and successful. Its history has been full of episode 
and incident and is rich in the material for an interesting sketch, 
at which in the present publication it is possible only to hint. The 
magnificent benefactions of Washington C. DePauw, himself a member 
of Sigma Chi, and in whose honor the institution has lately been renamed, 
have assured the future not only of the University but of the chapter to 
which it furnishes a home, and to which so many of its best and brightest 
sons belong. 

In addition to the prominent part played by the Xi in the general 
fraternity matters to which reference has already been made, Sigma Chi 
owes much to its chapter at DePauw. To Xi the Grand Chapter of 1880 
referred the task of editing the fraternity Song Book, and a great deal of 
effort was expended by the chapter, which the apathy of others rendered 
useless, except as preliminary to the successful labors of Beta in 1883. 
Hon. P. O. Hawes, the founder of Xi, was actively interested in the estab¬ 
lishment of Alpha Epsilon. Much of the preliminary work in the founding 
of Delta Delta and Delta Chi was accomplished at Greencastle, and Rev. 
A. S. Embree was largely instrumental in the establishment of Alpha Xi. 
Colfax E. Earl, as Grand Tribune, was a co-laborer with McMillin under 
the government of 1882-4, while Thompson Arnold was delegated as the 
representative of that government to investigate the petitioners at Hills¬ 
dale, who were afterwards chartered as the Alpha Kappa. Charles H. 
Enderton was sent to institute the Alpha Eta, and has more recently assisted 
at the birth of Alpha Sigma, while N. P. Conrey was an influential advocate 
of the latest addition to our chapter roll, the Alpha Upsilon, at the Univer¬ 
sity of Southern California. Other names might be added, and the evidences 
of practical loyalty be multiplied; but these will serve to show, in some 
degree at least, the part that Xi has taken, in the growth of Sigma Chi. Her 
rivals in the local field have been : Beta Theta Pi (1845) i Phi Gamma 
Delta (1856) ; Phi Kappa Psi (1865) ; Delta Kappa Epsilon (1866) ; Phi 
Delta Theta (1868) ; Kappa Alpha Theta (1870) ; Delta Tau Delta (1871) ; 
Kappa Kappa Gamma (1875); Delta Upsilon (1887).

DICKINSON COLLEGE. 


In 1783 the founders of Dickinson resolved, that there be “erected and established, in 
the borough of Carlisle, a college for the education of youth in the learned and foreign 
languages, the useful arts, sciences and literature.” Dr. Benjamin Rush was the master 
spirit of the enterprise. The President of the Supreme Executive Council of the State, John 
Dickinson, a Quaker of the warlike type, was placed at the head of its Board of Trustees, 
and in his honor it was called Dickinson College. The grant of a charter was soon followed 
by a gift of money and of ten thousand acres of land by the State. At various times the 
State made it additional grants of money. In 1798 the present college campus was bought 
for one hundred and fifty dollars. 

Its first president was Rev. Charles Nisbit, D.D., of Scotland. In 1803, the college 
building was destroyed by fire. Dr. Nisbit died in 1804. Then Dr. Davidson was President 
pro tempore. Rev. James Atwater held the office of President from 1809 to 1815 when he 
resigned, and the College suspended from 1816 to 1821. It re-opened under John M. 
Mason, D.D., as principal. The State made it a new grant of $10,000, but the College con¬ 
tinued to meet with difficulties, both financial and internal. It was its day of trial, lasting, 
however, through many years. Dr. Mason resigned in 1824, and Rev. William Neill suc¬ 
ceeded him. Only forty to fifty students were in attendance. The affairs of the College 
were investigated by a committee of the Legislature ; a rebellion on the part of the students 
took place ; the whole faculty left the College, and it was closed for several years. In 183a 
its friends rallied afresh to its support, and under Rev. Samuel B. How it again opened, 
only, however, to suspend in 1832. The institution had been, to all intents, under the con¬ 
trol of the Presbyterian Church. The division of that body into Old School and New 
School involved the College by dividing its Board of Trustees. The Old School controlled 
the funds and the New School had a majority of the Trustees. The Baltimore Conference 
of the Methodist Church made a proposal for its transfer, which was accepted by the 
majority of its Trustees, and it became an avowed Methodist College, which it has since 
remained. 

Upon its transfer $48,000 was raised for its endowment before it was again opened, 
September 10, 1834. Ninety students, seventy of whom were in the Preparatory depart¬ 
ment, gathered at its re-opening, and it has steadily prospered since. In 1883 it observed 
its centenary, and contribfttions amounting to $93,000 were received during that year. Its 
permanent endowment in 1885 was about $325,000. It has six buildings, one of which is- 
used exclusively by the Scientific department. The system of study retains the old classical 
course. The library contains 28,800 volumes. From 1872 to 1888 James A. McCauley, D.D., 
LL.D., was at its head, and very successfully did he administer its affairs. On January 3. 
1889, Dr. George E. Reed, of New Haven, Conn., was unanimously selected as his suc¬ 
cessor. He is young, brilliant and influential, and the expectation is that he will draw about 
him large classes of promising young men and inaugurate an era of increased financial 
prosperity. Its hundred and more years tell of many vicissitudes, of cares and prayers, of 
labor and toil given in unstinted measure by men of strong faith and devotion to perpetuate 
its life and work. But after her long night of toil she stands to-day clad about with honors. 
Those who go forth with her benediction, as they recall her good works cannot but take 
pride in claiming that they hail from “Dickinson”—that they are in the succession of the 
worthy men whom she has exalted.

THE OMICRON. 


THE OMICROH- 


Omicron Chapter at “Old Dickinson,” Carlisle, Pennsylvania, has had 
a long, varied and by no means uninteresting history. Founded December 
12, 1859, when ^e sullen war cloud was rising in the Southern sky, she still 
abides in this year of grace 1889, after having run a course alike honorable 
and successful. Looking back through the mists of now nearly thirty 
years, the chronicler of this brief history records “ tenacity of life,” the 
pronounced characteristic of the chapter. She was born to live, and live 
•she has through every vicissitude of fortune. The ravages of war, the tongue 
of slander and the crowding of later fraternities into a field contracted and 
already sufficiently occupied, tested Sigma Chi to the fullest. But neither 
was she crushed in spirit nor turned aside from a royal purpose by these 
things. To-day she survives because fit to survive. Whatever her destiny 
of future years, her past at least is secure. 

On Pomfret street, nearly opposite the rear end of the College Meth¬ 
odist Episcopal Church, the corner stone of Omicron was laid. That winter 
evening of long ago will ever be memorable, when Patterson and another 
brother from Iota slipped into town and in the quiet of the midnight hour 
listened to the vows of fealty to the “White Cross” as they were said by 
Thomas N. Williams (regarded as the father of the chapter), George W. 
Caruth and Joseph B. Parker. Shortly after the departure of the initiators, 
five others, Thomas N. Booker, George R. Garner, James L. Crook, Thomas 
S. Parker and William M. Travers joined the mystic brotherhood of the 
lately initiated. These eight young Greeks, good and true, at once set about 
putting the new chapter on a firm and dignified basis. They were made of 
stubborn stuff, and so the work of broadening and strengthening went on. 
A home for the sturdy youngsters was first secured in an eligible hall three 
blocks from the college grounds, where from time to time for many years wise 
heads in secret laid plans of extension. 

In the early days, Phi Kappa Sigma and Phi Kappa Psi were lively 
antagonists and sharp competitors. To obtain a foothold and keep it in the 
teeth of this opposition was no easy task; but Sigma Chi was equal to the 
emergency. Fortunately at this time the college was enjoying its greatest 
prosperity, and the healthy state of affairs gave to Omicron a splendid 
•opportunity which she seized and abundantly improved. And be it said to 
the everlasting credit of the chapter, that in its organization neither the 
rejected nor cast-off of other fraternities were to be found, but the first and 
best only. As a result of an aggressive and at the same time a careful policy,

by the second year of her existence twenty Sigs had sworn allegiance at her 
altar. Thus by attaining and easily holding a prominent and enviable place 
in the college community and among her rivals, she demonstrated her right 
to live. More and better than this, her vitality was expended in missionary 
effort. To reach out beyond her own limits was an ambition born with her 
birth. She began early to prove her faith by her works. Three of her sons 
—Thomas N. Williams, Joseph B. Parker and Rufus E. Shapley—selected 
and properly empowered, went to Charlottesville, Va., and on the ioth of 
December, i860, planted the “ White Cross ” on the soil of the Old Dominion. 
This fair symbol uplifted in the halls of the University of Virginia by loyal 
hands is to-day, after more than a quarter of a century, guarded sacredly by 
honored sons. The first badge worn at Dickinson is in possession of Joseph 
B. Parker, now a surgeon in the U. S. Navy. He keeps it as a precious 
souvenir of the early days of struggle and triumph, and as a pleasant reminder 
of personal active affiliation with the chapter as well. This badge success¬ 
fully imitated on canvas by Miss Laura Gere, of Carlisle, was presented to 
the chapter. It was framed and displayed in a shop window on the main 
street, and this was the first definite knowledge to the outside world of the 
existence of 2 X. 

During the first years the sessions of the chapter were monthly. Of 
these meetings a graduate member (now distinguished as preacher and 
author) says, “ I attended only one or two meetings, and was glad to give 
my countenance and endorsement to the order on account of its high tone? 
moral, social and literary, as compared with several other Greek-letter 
societies which were convivial in their character.” Another, who has served 
the country in the National House of Representatives, adds these words : 
“ This I do know, however, and that is, the Sigma Chi fraternity was com¬ 
posed of the best men in college in those days.” Such testimony expressive 
of the eminent standing of the chapter and the personal high character of 
its members, coming as it does from men far removed both by time and 
distance from the former place and scenes, is invaluable. 

Dickinson College up to the breaking out of the Rebellion probably 
drew from a third to a half of its patronage from the South. The war 
came and that source of supply was instantly cut off. The young society, 
just fairly on her feet, suffered along with the rest of the college interests. 
But while she shared in the common paralysis caused by the rude 
shock of battle, the record shows that from 1861 to 1865 she continued 
strong, aggressive and prosperous. Up to the year 1879, as °ft en as the 
college received freshmen or turned out seniors, Sigma Chis came and 
Sigma Chis went. Having taken her place among the permanent institu¬ 
tions, her influence was strongly felt in the social and literary world about 
her. If good men make good history, then Omicron’s every page is fair to 
00k upon. Her alumni of these times, with pardonable pride, speak in 


234 


THE OMICRON. 


flattering terms of her prestige and power, and they are wont to regard this 
period as unsurpassed, in fact as the “golden age” of the fraternity. In the 
fall of this year (1879) b ut three Sigs were on the ground to do battle for 
their beloved chapter. With depleted ranks on the one hand and three 
fierce competitors,—with a fourth talked of—on the other, the task of recruit¬ 
ing was exceedingly unpromising and almost hopeless. But Charles K. 
Zug, John W. Thomas and Elmer McDade were equal to the occasion. 
With the odds heavily against them, undaunted they pushed a vigorous 
campaign in a quiet way for several weeks, when to the satisfaction of them¬ 
selves and to the surprise of their rivals seven new men were added to the 
Spartan three. The following four years were pleasant and profitable ones. 
Omicron’s representatives stood with the first in society and literary work. 
Her men as a rule were genial and popular. Unanimity of spirit easily pre¬ 
vailed and was always a marked feature. These years passed and the 
interests of 2 X at Dickinson were brought to the crucial point. For a 
year or more it was a matter of life or death, and only the most ardent 
faith and heroic service saved the chapter. With the graduating class of 
’83 went the planning heads and managing hands of Omicron. With 
their departure came poor planning and poorer management. To 
complicate affairs $ A © now pushed its claims into the narrow field 
and pressed for recognition. Six contending fraternities, with no corre¬ 
sponding increase in the attendance of students, had the effect first, to 
sharpen competition on available men, and second, to bring to a point of 
desirability the hitherto undesirable. Here, then, a splendid history of 
nearly twenty-five years seemed at an end. In that dark hour it looked as 
though the star so long in the ascendant must fall. This exigency, indeed, 
called for rare leadership and sagacious planning. But the man was at 
hand in the person of Alex. A. Sharp, subsequently honored as the first 
Grand Praetor of the First Province. Dr. Sharp, who has since become so 
widely known to the fraternity, by his courage, patience and diplomacy pre¬ 
vailed and won the day. Without sympathy, in the face of an opposition 
as strong as it was unfriendly, this loyal fellow by tact and tireless energy 
saved Omicron to Sigma Chi, and in less than two years put the chapter on 
a sound basis and restored her to her right place, which she has not 
relinquished since. 

Founded in the fifth year of the fraternity as the seventh chapter of 
Sigma Chi, the Omicron had scarcely received its charter before it began 
in turn the work of extension. Within a year it had planted the standard 
of the White Cross at the University of Virginia, then the leading institution 
of the Southeastern States. This alone would entitle the chapter to the 
lasting gratitude of the fraternity; but with its zeal only heightened by 
success, its attention was then directed to the neighboring institutions of its 
own State. To the splendid chapter at Jefferson, the Omicron owed its own

■existence, and to Omicron and Iota is due the strength of Sigma Chi in the 
Keystone State. During the very heart of the war and in the camp of the 
army, the Kappa was founded by Niles Sheerer, then a volunteer soldier 
from Carlisle; and only a short time before the Theta had been established 
by a delegation from Omicron. It was to Dr. Alex. A. Sharp, also, that the 
recent attempt to revive Phi Phi at Philadelphia, was almost wholly due. 

The following fraternities have also been established at Dickinson : 
Zeta Psi (1853-5) > Phi Kappa Sigma (1854-78); Phi Kappa Psi (1859); 
Theta Delta Chi (1861); Chi Phi (1869); Beta Theta Pi (1874); Phi Delta 
Theta (1880).

eRskine college. 


This college is located in the village of Due West, in the county of Abbeville, South 
Carolina. The village is eleven miles north of the county seat and four miles from Donnald„ 
a railroad station on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad. The location is high and 
healthful, and far removed from the turmoil of city life. If there be any decided advantages- 
in placing a school outside and beyond the influences of large towns and cities this college 
may justly lay iclaim to them. It was founded in 1839 by the Associate Reformed Presbyter 
ian Synod of the South, and its work is largely adapted to the educational wants and needs- 
of that religious body. Its first president was the Rev. E. E. Pressly, D.D., who was assisted 
by several Professors. For the seven years during which he remained at its head, it struggled 
with low salaries, want of suitable buildings, libraries, and scientific apparatus ; yet, it met 
with some degree of success. Being thoroughly denominational, its field of operations ha& 
never embraced a large constituency. Dr. Pressly was succeeded by the Rev. R. C. Grier, 
D.D., in 1846, and he remained its President for twelve years. During this time, four large 
and well-arranged buildings were erected ; an endowment of $50,000 was secured from the 
sale of scholarships, and an additional $20,000 was given by Capt. John Blair and Col. Wm. 
Wright, of Yorkville, South Carolina, and Christopher Strong, Esq., of Tennessee. 

Rev. E. L. Patton was President at the breaking out of the war in 1861, during which 
the College suspended. There was an attendance of about 150 students in i860 and 1861. 
After the war closed the college was re-opene'd under very unfavorable auspices. Dr. Grier 
was again its President and did much to regain for it its former popularity. He died in 1871, 
and his son Rev. William M. Grier, D.D., was chosen to fill the vacancy. He is still its 
President, and is full of hope for its future. The College requires the full classical course as 
its condition of conferring a degree, no special courses being provided. Besides the Presi¬ 
dent, there are four regular Professors ; and the Preparatory School has its separate tutor. 
The number of students in the four regular college classes, as shown by its catalogue for 
1888, is 54. The Preparatory school has 25. The work done, though limited in scope and 
by reason of the small attendance, is thorough. This is proven by the character and success 
of the graduates. Its most prosperous period was from 1850 to 1861, when it suspended. Its^ 
present endowment is $80,000. The grounds and buildings are valued at $50,000. 

The catalogue yearly gives'notice that “No student may carry, keep or use pistols, 
dirks, sword-canes or any other weapon “No student may bet on drafts, chess or any 
other game “Every student in his intercourse with citizens or strangers shall act with 
propriety, abstaining from all insulting and disrespectful conduct or language, as also the 
annoying and molesting of servants.” These and other peculiar rules of deportment would 
convey to the casual observer a very incorrect impression of the class of patronage at Erskine'.

THE ORIGINAL PI. 


THE ORIGINAL PI. 


In the ante-bellum days, Erskine College, at Due West, South Carolina, 
was one of the most promising institutions of the South. Founded in 1839, 
supported by the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and insisting 
.upon a high grade of moral, literary and scholarly attainment, it was a 
flourishing college in 1859. It had one hundred and twenty-six students on 
its rolls, and confidently anticipated a career of unusual prosperity. During 
the winter of this year, William J. Dennis, George W. Hines and David M. 
Montgomery, with a few of their fellow-students, finding mutual enjoyment 
in each other’s society and plans, resolved to organize a club which would 
afford.better opportunities for enjoying the pleasures of intimate friendship. 
Before their plans had been fully matured, however, the leaders of the embry¬ 
onic fraternity were approached by William D. Rodman, a new student from 
the State of Mississippi, and were solicited to join in a petition to Sigma Chi. 
Rodman had already selected a few newly acquired friends to jojn him in his 
undertaking ; and conferences were held, at which he read globing letters 
from Sigma Chi friends at the University of Mississippi, in which the other 
chapters of the fraternity were mentioned and on the stationery of which 
the badge of the order was handsomely engraved. Enthusiasm at once ran 
high. It was felt to be the very ideal of their fondest hopes ; and a petition 
bearing date December 24, 1859, was at once prepared and forwarded to 
Eta Chapter. This petition bore the following nine names : George W. 
Hines, Robert G. Black, John T. Sloan, John T. Hall, William H. Thompson, 
John E. Bradley, William J. Dennis, William D. Rodman and David M. 
Montgomery. It received the hearty endorsement of Eta, and the minutes 
of the Gamma record that on January 31, i860, a charter was granted and 
a committee appointed to prepare and forward the necessary documents. 

The chapter was immediately instituted and entered with rare zeal and 
.relish into the work and pleasures of the fraternity. No other fraternity 
.existed in the institution, as the faculty of Erskine were known to be very 
unfriendly to secret organizations. A large and flourishing local fraternity, 
known as the Beta Phi, at one time existed; but their badges having 
attracted the attention of the professors, they were summoned before the 
faculty and compelled to pledge themselves to make no further initiations. 
After the organization of Sigma Chi an effort was made to establish a 
•chapter of Chi Psi, but it had not been consummated when the college sus¬ 
pended in 1861.

But the knowledge of the hostility of the faculty seemed to give added 
zest and vigor to the little chapter. The class-room, the rostrum and the 
halls of the literary societies were carefully watched; and it was always 
understood that Sigma Chi must merit the highest honor. With what 
interest the letters from distant chapters were read and eagerly discussed ! 
What speculation arose as to the material of which they were composed ; 
and how often the wish was uttered for the jolly times that would occur if 
they could all meet face to face ! With such incentives to interest and enthu¬ 
siasm the chapter grew apace until it numbered at one time twenty-nine mem¬ 
bers on its active roll. But that ominous cloud of ’6i began to gather; and 
its shadow fell on Erskine and the pleasant paths of Sigma Chi. Even yet the 
sadness that overhung the last meeting of the chapter on that April night is 
fresh in the memory of its surviving sons. Most of its members had enlisted 
in the service of the Confederate States; and the morrow would find the 
little band scattered never to meet again. With the war-throb filling all the 
land, one of the last resolutions of the chapter was the pledge that, wherever 
the fortunes of war should throw its members in the path of any Sigma Chi, 
the vows of friendship and protection should be sacred still. Pi Chapter 
went down with her colors flying and with the ringing declaration of a fra¬ 
ternal loyalty that knew no North or South, and that tempered even the 
bitterness of civil strife.

HOW/\Rb COLLEGE. 


The Baptists of Alabama founded this college at Marion, in that state, in 1842, and 
named it to honor the memory of John Howard, the English philanthropist. On two occa¬ 
sions the college buildings were destroyed by fire, and each time they were rebuilt and 
enlarged. Its endowment grew but slowly, yet at the breaking out of the war, it had 
reached nearly two hundred thousand dollars. This was invested in Confederate bonds and 
personal securities, and as a result was almost entirely lost. For twenty years after the war 
its progress was retarded by want of financial aid. Its revenues were limited almost wholly 
to the receipts from tuition. 

The question of removal to a more favorable location was agitated at different times, 
but especially during the last five years. An offer of two hundred thousand dollars in land 
and cash subscriptions came to the Board of Trustees from capitalists interested in building 
up the town of East Lake, on condition of its removal from Marion to that place. The offer 
was accepted and the College removed in July, 1887. The buildings now occupied are tempo¬ 
rary. The one in course of construction is to cost $125,000 when fully completed. East 
Lake is intended to furnish homes for people doing business in Birmingham. It is five hun¬ 
dred feet above the latter place and is well supplied with fine water, and the scenery is very 
beautiful. Being strictly denominational the College depends almost wholly upon Baptists 
for patronage. The students numbered 108 the last year at Marion, and 157 the first year 
at East Lake, so that the change secured a larger attendance. 

The faculty of the College proper consists of four professors, who give their whole time 
to collegiate work. The grammar school has two additional instructors. The physical 
development of the students is sought to be gained through military drill. One hour of each 
day is given to military exercise. Since 1881, Greek letter societies have been prohibited. 
The reason given in the catalogue for so doing is that “ the influence of secret college 
societies has proved, in the general experience of educational institutions, unfavorable to 
discipline and scholarship, and therefore to the welfare of colleges and to the best interests 
of students”—a most remarkable exhibition of ignorance of fraternity work and of the 
opinion of educators as to the merits of the Greek-letter societies. The outlook of Howard 
College in comparison with its past may be said to be promising. It will gradually secure, 
no doubt, a sufficient endowment to enable it to increase its faculty and enlarge its work. 
The change in location has enlisted new friends in its behalf and may be the beginning of a 
prosperous future. The number of alumni in 1886 was 198.

THE PI. 


The Pi Chapter was organized at Howard College during the Fall of 
1872 by William E. Quin and Orin R. Sholars, who had received their 
membership, the former at the University of Mississippi and the latter at 
Roanoke College. Quin had entered Howard at the beginning of the 
session of 1872-3, and had at once begun the organization of a body of 
petitioners, in which he was aided by Sholars, who entered a little later. 
The charter was granted on November 4, 1872, and bears the names 
of the following charter members : William E. Quin, Orin R. Sholars, 
Leo Chandler, Matthew Clay, Jr., Thomas W. Sprott, Jacob S Dill, 
Packard P. Parham, Seth Mabry, Jr., Samuel P. Fowlkes and William 
T. Crenshaw. The fraternity immediately took high rank in the college 
and enjoyed wide popularity and favor. It occupied comfortable rooms 
in the King House, the leading hotel of Marion, and its flourishing 
condition excited the envy of its rivals. The contest between the various- 
societies soon waxed fierce and hot, but for a long while was confined 
within proper limits. The boundary was overstepped, however, when 
some members of Beta Theta Pi slipped into the recitation rooms of a 
female seminary in the town, hid the books and greased the blackboards, 
and then openly charged the members of Sigma Chi with their rowdyism. 
Great feeling was engendered and intensified by the subsequent discovery 
and dismissal of the real participants in the escapade. With hot Southern 
blood involved, the antagonism of course became violent, and in 1876, dur¬ 
ing an election for a debater’s medal, came near precipitating a college 
entente , and led the Trustees to take vigorous measures for the suppression 
of all secret societies. The members of Pi, regarding this as an unjust 
failure to discriminate between the guilty and the innocent, between the use 
of the fraternity and its abuse, determined to bid defiance to the law. 
Being debarred the privilege of organization, they indulged only in informal 
social and fraternal meetings during the college terms/pledging their men 
and making initiations after the close of each session. In this way they 
succeeded in retaining a membership of the leading students and the 
brightest fellows of the school. When their methods were discovered the 
faculty adopted the following regulation : That “ on and after the year 1881 
any student who shall join any fraternity or other secret organization shall 
not be eligible to the offices and honors of this college.” For two years 
the chapter pledged its members during the college sessions and delayed 
their formal initiation until after graduation ; but during the year 1883-4

the eight active members boldly threw off all disguises. Voluntarily aban¬ 
doning all hope of securing the scholarly distinctions and military offices, 
they frankly declared that they preferred an open membership in Sigma Chi 
to all these honors of the institution. The fight was on in earnest and was 
bitterly fought ; but after two years the President was still unshaken in his 
hostility ; and as the institution had not made the progress which had been 
anticipated at the founding of the chapter, the Grand Council determined, 
after careful investigation, that the advantages of the college were not such 
as to justify the effort that then seemed necessary in order to overcome the 
prejudice of its authorities and to secure the repeal of the hostile restric¬ 
tions. On February 1, 1885, with the acquiescence of its members, the 
charter of the second Pi Chapter was revoked by vote of the Grand Council 
of the fraternity. Under the most adverse circumstances, it had success¬ 
fully maintained an honorable existence under hostile laws. Enthusiasm, 
courage and loyalty had distinguished its active career, and practical 
usefulness has been its striking characteristic since. In 1888, the 
national convention of the fraternity appropriately acknowledged its obli¬ 
gations to Mr. W. B. Peebles, of Vienna, Ala., whose financial liberality 
in support of the general government during recent years, has borne elo¬ 
quent testimony to his interest in the practical advancement of Sigma Chi. 

In addition to Sigma Chi, the following fraternities have been estab¬ 
lished at Howard College: Phi Gamma Delta (1857-62); Sigma Alpha 
Epsilon (1870-75); Beta Theta Pi (1872-79) ; Sigma Nu (1879-81).

ButleR University. 


This institution was founded by the denomination known as “Christians,” for the edu¬ 
cation of young men and women. From 1841 to 1849 the need-of such an institution was- 
discussed at their state meetings, and in the latter year it was decided to found an institution 
of the highest grade and to locate it at Indianapolis. It was called “The Northwestern 
Christian University.” A liberal charter was obtained, authorizing the creation of a joint- 
stock company and the issuing of stock, the minimum amount of which was fixed at $75,000 
and the maximum at $500,000. The charter, under its provisions, became a law on January 15, 
1850. By June, 1852, subscriptions of stock amounting to $75,200 had been made. The 
holders of this stock became the Corporation under the charter, and proceeded to the organi¬ 
zation of the University by the election of a Board of Directors. This Board met for the first 
time on July 27, 1852. A site, containing twenty acres, was purchased and paid for in stock. 
Building plans were adopted, and the west wing of the main building was erected at a cost of 
$27,000. The Preparatory Department was opened April 17, 1855, and on November first of 
that year the University received its first students. 

There were four instructors and one hundred and thirteen students during the first year. 
The growth was gradual and steady in all directions, until the civil war opened, when there 
was a lessening of the number of instructors and students; but at its ending the growth con¬ 
tinued, and in 1866 we find 271 students in attendance and the departments increased. In 
1871 the attendance reached 345, which has not been exceeded since. In 1876 the number 
of matriculates had reached 4,493, of which 3,725 were young men and 768 young women. 
The catalogue for 1887-8 contains the names of 156 students and shows a corps of nine 
instructors, at the head of which is Allen R. Benton, LL.D. The present number of the 
alumni is about 300. 

In 1873 an offer was received by the Board of Directors of a campus and $150,000 for the 
erection of buildings, on condition that the institution be removed to Irvington, a suburban 
town four miles east of Indianapolis. It was accepted ; the old site was subdivided and from' 
the sale of a part of the lots $163,000 was realized as early as 1877. The endowment previously 
raised was $119,033, making an aggregate endowment, at that date, of $282,033. The esti¬ 
mated value of the remaining lots was $160,000. The present endowment is fast approaching 
$500,000. In 1877 its name was changed to that which it now bears, “ Butler University,” 
in honor of Ovid Butler, on whose liberality, care and foresight the prosperity of the insti¬ 
tution had so largely depended. The new buildings at Irvington were occupied in the Fall 
of 1876, and consist of the University Building and the Boarding Hall. The former is of 
brick trimmed with stone ; is commodious and well arranged for its intended use. The 
Boarding Hall is also of brick and has accommodations for sixty students. In the College 
of Literature, Science and Arts, three courses of study are open to students—the Classical, the 
Philosophical and the Scientific. A post-graduate course has also been provided. Women are 
admitted to all classes of the University. Special prominence is given to the study of the 
sacred Scriptures in this institution, its chief benefactor, in 1876, having given $46,700 as 
an endowment to promote “ instruction in the Christian faith and Christian morality as taught 
in the sacred Scriptures.” The institution is strictly denominational, although open to all on 
like terms.

THE RHO. 


THE RHO. 


The Rho Chapter, at Butler University, was established through the 
efforts of Leonard McCord, an alumnus of the Lambda, in the Spring of 
1865. The institution was at this time known as the Northwestern Chris¬ 
tian University, and was situated in the city of Indianapolis, where McCord 
was engaged in the practice of the law. Indianapolis was already becom¬ 
ing a centre of Sigma Chi strength, and, as Phi Delta Theta was the only 
fraternity then in the University, it was not difficult to enlist a half dozen of 
the very leaders of the institution. The greatest care, however, was used 
in the selection of the charter members; and when Charles W. Raymond, 
George W. Galvin, Edwin Taylor, Howard Cale, John Denton and Henry 
F. Kane had been secured, McCord was so impressed with the desirability 
of immediate action upon their petition, that his persistent and vigorous 
efforts aroused the Gamma to a degree of phenomenal activity. Waiting 
only for the color of authority, the charter was hastily granted under date 
of March 31, 1865, an d chapter was promptly instituted by McCord. 
It is even written that many chapters were altogether taken by surprise 
when they learned of the actual existence of the Rho, and that their 
remonstrances at the premature action of the “ Parent Chapter ” were very 
angry and of wide extent. Indeed, the usual calm of Sigma Chi waters 
was restored only when the genuine merit of the new chapter became 
known, and the Gamma had explained the emergency under which it had 
supposed its action had been taken, and had pledged itself never to stretch 
its constitutional prerogatives again. 

It so happened that nearly all of the charter members occupied promi¬ 
nent places on the coming exhibitions and public performances of the 
college for that year ; and when the various occasions came around and 
they proceeded to the discharge of their duties under the badge of the 
“ White Cross,” the sensation was pronounced. The chapter held regular 
weekly sessions, which were of great interest and value to its members. It 
grew rapidly in numbers and in excellence and was soon regarded as a 
power in college politics, seldom failing to accomplish what it sought. Its 
members were prominent, not only by reason of this strength, but because 
of their scholarly habits, their personal character and their individual repu¬ 
tation for manliness and intelligence. That they were able, genial and 
attractive fellows no one familiar with their after lives needs to be told. 
With the exception of an occasional spirited election in college politics and 
the customary incidents of student life, the annals of Rho have been quiet

and uneventful. In 1873 only two of its members returned to college, and 
again, in 1888, its numbers were reduced to two ; but in both instances, 
vigorous measures and the refusal of its members to initiate any but the 
best among their fellow students were rewarded with success. During 
recent years the membership has seldom been large ; but it has been as 
great as it is believed the attendance of the institution will permit; and 
with one foot on the threshold of its increased financial prosperity, Rho 
stands ready to take prompt advantage of the University’s advance. 

At Butler University, Sigma Chi meets chapters of the following fra¬ 
ternities : Phi Delta Theta (1859) 1 Delta Tau Delta (1875) 1 Beta Theta 
Pi (1879-81) ; Kappa Alpha Theta (1874) ; Kappa Kappa Gamma (1878).

LA GRANGE SYNODICAL COLLEGE. 


This institution, unlike all others noticed in this Catalogue, except the Polytechnic 
College of the State of Pennsylvania, has come and gone. Although its days were few 
and its record necessarily brief, it has been with much difficulty that the few facts here 
recorded concerning it have been gathered. It was founded in 1856, and at first received 
the name of “The College of the Synod of Memphis,” a Presbyterian body. For several 
years this Synod had been agitating the founding of a school of its own ; and in 1856 the 
Masonic Fraternity offered a subscription of $35,000 to the Synod, on condition that its 
contemplated college be located at La Grange, Tennessee. This subscription was originally 
made by the Masonic order with the view of founding there a college of its own. 

The Synod at once began the erection of a building, Ionic in design, and costing about 
$75,000. It was completed, and in the fall of 1857 the work of the institution began, with 
Rev. John H. Grey, D.D., as President, and Rev. J. N. Waddell, D.D., as Professor of 
Languages; Col. J. L. Meigs, as Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, and John R. 
Blake, Professor of Natural Sciences. Dr. George R. Grant was Lecturer on Physiology, 
and Hon. J. W. C. Watson, Lecturer on International Law. For an opening in that day 
and in that section of the country, the corps of instructors warranted high expectations for 
the future. During the first year one hundred and nineteen students were enrolled. The 
next year two additional instructors were added, and one hundred and twenty-six students 
were in attendance. At the close of the college year of i860, Dr. J. N. Waddell had become 
President, owing to the resignation of Dr. Grey, and Dr. Grey and William A. Eakin, D.D., 
had been added to the corps of professors. The college opened for the year 1860-1 under 
favorable auspices, but at the outbreak of the war it was suspended indefinitely, and the 
students entered the Confederate Army. An attempt was made to open it in the autumn of 
that year, but the fall of Fort Donaldson brought the exercises to a close. The college build¬ 
ing was used as a hospital at different times by the opposing armies, and was greatly damaged 
during the war—so greatly as to render it useless for college purposes. After the war it was 
not reopened. 

Probably no other college in our country, having equally bright prospects at its opening, 
so soon ended its work. It must be said that its destruction was wholly the result of the 
war. No lack of judgment, or want of faithfulness on the part of its friends can be laid to 
their charge. It went down amid the general disarrangement that prevailed at the time 
throughout the Border States. Had its roots through long years taken deeper hold, it might 
have been resuscitated after the war, but being in its infancy the shock that it received 
wholly destroyed its promising life.

THE ORIGINAL SIGMA. 


THE ORIGINAL SIGMA. 


The history of the original Sigma Chapter was brief and uneventful, 
and only its simplest outlines now survive in the misty recollections of its 
handful of members. It was organized as a body of petitioners by William 
C. Baskin, a member of the original Pi Chapter, during the session of 
1859-60; and a charter was granted on September 27, i860. The institu¬ 
tion, then four years of age, was enjoying the brightest prospects, and the 
chapter was born into the atmosphere of youthful vigor and recognized 
prosperity, which then surrounded everything connected with La Grange. 
But the civil war broke out, and a few short months were all its span of life. 
Early in 1861 the college suspended never to reopen; and ten of the eleven 
members of the chapter promptly enlisted in the service of the South. Dr. 
Morrison Munford, now the famous editor of the Kansas City Times , and 
Hon. Holmes Cummins, the distinguished jurist and railroad official of 
Memphis, Tenn., were the officers in whose custody the charter and 
archives belonged, and when they enlisted in the Confederate Army at the 
very outbreak of hostilities, they placed these documents in the hands of 
Cummins’ father for safe keeping. Through all the varying fortunes of the 
war, which carried separation and death into the ranks of the little band of 
friends, the records of the chapter were preserved and were recently 
returned by Dr. Munford to the archives of the fraternity. The charter 
bears the official signature of Frank Baker, since distinguished on the 
Chicago Bench, and J. W. Cunningham, the well-known publisher of St. 
Paul; and on its yellow parchment are the names of Robert S. Capelle, 
Joseph M. Carothers, Edward G. Miller, William C. Baskin, Holmes 
Cummins, R. A. Gilmer, R. M. McClellan, W. H. Bolton and Morrison 
Munford. They were men worthy of the confidence and brotherhood of 
Sigma Chi; and the fraternity is proud of the brief record of the chapter 
they founded, with its story of boyish heroism and chivalric self-sacrifice 
for the honor of country and of home.

COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY. 

The College of New Jersey may be said to have been founded by the friends of what is 
known as the “Log College.” Most of them had received their training within its humble 
walls. The “ Log College ” was a classical school of a high order founded by Rev. Wm. 
Tennent, an Irish Presbyterian, for the education of young men for the ministry. He was a 
trained classical scholar, and the men that went forth from his school were mostly learned, 
earnest, and successful. They were largely instrumental in founding not only the College of 
New Jersey, but also Dickinson, Jefferson, Hampden-Sidney and Washington. As a corpo¬ 
ration the College of New Jersey dates from 1746. It opened to students in 1747 at Eliza¬ 
bethtown. Jonathan Dickinson was its first President, holding office from May to October* 
1747. In 1748 it was removed to Newark, N. J., and there remained until 1756, when it 
was taken to Princeton. Nassau Hall had been built for it there and named in honor of 
William III, of the house of Nassau. This building is now in use. It has been twice burned 
and rebuilt, the walls resisting the fire each time. During the revolutionary war it was 
used by both armies for barrack and hospital purposes. In 1768, Rev. John Witherspoon, 
D.D., became President, and a few years later he and two of the alumni, Richard Stockton 
and Benjamin Rush, signed the Declaration of Independence. 

The most prosperous period in the history of the College began with the presidency of 
of Rev. James McCosh, D.D., LL.D., in 1868. Active and energetic, he carefully watched 
and rapidly advanced its interests. Its funds have been greatly augmented, its faculty 
enlarged, the number of students increased, a wider scope given to the range of studies, fifteen 
large, substantial and costly buildings erected, and the accessories of a well-equipped college 
multiplied on every hand. Among its benefactors are the names of Messrs. James Lenox, 
John J. Blair, N. Norris Halstead, John C. Green, Henry G. Marquand, Robert Bonner, 
Robert L. Stuart, Alexander Stuart, George W. Musgrave, George M. Grier, William Libbey, 
Robert Garrett and Susan Brown,—each having given tens of thousands of dollars for its 
advancement. John C. Green’s gift of $750,000 founded the School of Science, erected a 
library building and aided in other work. Marquand’s $125,000 built the chapel. Libbey’s 
$350,000 founded the museums of Geology and Archaeology and built the University Hotel. 
Within the last fifteen years three millions of dollars have been contributed ; and all that 
money could do to make it a college of the highest order has been done. There are seventy- 
seven scholarships worth from $50 to $60 per annum ; eleven fellowships, giving from $250 
to $600 per year, and numerous prizes. A School of Philosophy has lately been established, 
for which purpose Mrs. Robert L. Stuart gave $150,000. The library contains 7.5,000 vol¬ 
umes. The Board of Trustees is a self-perpetuating body, holds and administers its property, 
appoints its Faculty and makes the laws governing both Faculty and students, one of which 
forbids the students becoming members of Greek-letter fraternities. It is strictly a denomina¬ 
tional college, being under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church. Its range of work is 
not that of a university, but it is wider than can strictly be called collegiate. The Schoo 
of Science is well equipped and a School of Electrical Engineering is to be opened in 
September, 1889. The corps of professors and instructors numbers 39. The number of 
students in the academic schools is about 500. No college in America does better work than 
Princeton. 

It is to be hoped that the Greeks may yet approve themselves to the Board of Trustees 
and be permitted to re-enter Princeton. It stands alone among institutions of a high order 
in prohibiting them. There are a few colleges of lower standing, where narrowness of views 
and pedagogic conceptions of college government prevail, that take a similar stand, but for 
a college where young men are treated with frankness and confidence, and where they are 
supposed to be possessed of a manly sense of right and disposed to do justly, to limit their 
freedom in this respect is unworthy the intelligence of its directors. The pretext has been 
that the fraternities would destroy the two secret literary societies, Whig and Clio, institutions 
coeval with the College.

THE SIGMA. 


THE SIGMA. 


The Sigma was first established at the College of New Jersey in 1869. 
An application for a charter was forwarded to the Parent Chapter as early 
as January of that year ; and Stacy B. Opdyke, of Upsilon, in a letter to 
Theta Chapter dated March 4, 1869, writes : “I was present at the initia¬ 
tion of the new chapter, and found the petitioners to be a first-class set.” 
The ceremonies of initiation were conducted by the Phi Chapter. The 
start seemed propitious ; but on account of the pronounced hostility of the 
college authorities little communication was had between the chapter and 
the fraternity at large. There appears to have been opposition to the 
original establishment of the chapter, and owing to their uncertain means of 
information its members gave easy credence to an apparently well authenti¬ 
cated report of the revocation of their charter, which reached them about a 
year after their organization. The chapter at once disbanded, the majority 
of its members uniting with other fraternities ; and it has not been recog¬ 
nized as a branch of the fraternity. 

In 1875 there was a strong sentiment at Princeton against the anti¬ 
fraternity regulations, on the part of the students, and a temporary laxity in 
their enforcement by the authorities. Taking advantage of what then 
seemed to indicate a change of policy, a number of fraternities attempted to 
enter the institution. Sigma Chi happened to have in the College a mem¬ 
ber of the Mu Chapter, Oren Britt Brown, a royal good fellow, who had 
carried his Sigma Chi zeal with him from Denison to Princeton. Through 
his efforts the Sigma was reorganized and a charter was granted on June 
17, 1875, to Leighton Finley, Rolla Wells, George S. Aderton, William B. 
Van Lennep and O. Britt Brown. For a time things went along swimmingly 
with the chapter, and the prospects for an open existence seemed to 
brighten; but in the Spring of 1876 the hostility of the faculty abruptly 
revived ; about fifty students were charged with violation of the law, and 
over half of them were suspended, Brown among the others. The chagrin of 
Britt and his fellows in distress—many of whom were about to graduate— 
can be imagined better than told. However, after much negotiation and 
difficulty the offenders were permitted to return, upon giving pledges and 
assurances which they felt to be unjust, and which they were now determined 
to fulfill no further than the letter of their obligations would compel. In 
this determination they found abundant support among the best fellows in 



COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY.

the institution; and a method of evading the law was speedily devised. 
Thereafter no students were initiated at Princeton; but under the claim 
that the rules of the institution were accepted under duress and could not 
be considered obligatory when the student was not in college, the future 
members of Sigma were initiated during vacation by the Phi Chapter at 
Easton, Pennsylvania. It was an evasion, but it was successful, and for a 
number of years the chapter enjoyed much prosperity. Its members were 
in many ways among the most prominent fellows in college. They were 
the leaders of the various student organizations, and especially of the col¬ 
lege athletics; and many a laurel was brought to “Old Nassau” by the 
members of Sigma. The formality of a fraternity chapter was not main¬ 
tained ; no badges were ever worn, and during college sessions the Sigma 
existed only as a band of mutual friends; but their identity and fraternal 
unity was known and respected. Largely in order to counteract their 
influence, the faculty gave their consent and favor to the founding of the 
“ Ivy Club,” which, in its conception and its practice, is a local Greek - 
letter fraternity, with an attractive chapter house upon the college campus. 
By their action in this matter and in many other ways, the authorities of 
Princeton have shown that their hostility to the fraternities is due to a total 
misconception of their legitimate influence and character. A fair and 
candid consideration would speedily convince them that the fraternity 
system of to-day is properly chargeable with none of the objections they 
have urged against it. No other institution of any prominence now bars 
its doors against these fraternal societies, with their beneficent influences 
of home and culture and manliness and enduring friendship. The faults 
with which they have been charged were the abuses of youth; and 
the fraternities have done more for the eradication of boyish folly and 
the uplifting of manliness in American colleges, than all the prohibitory 
legislation of professors and trustees. Boy nature is human nature, and 
coercion does not always render it attractive. It was only when the 
Sigma discovered that it could successfully defy the President of Prince¬ 
ton, that the fraternity sat down to consider whether it was worth while 
to maintain a sub rosa organization under an evasion of laws which 
owed their birth to misapprehension and their continuation to Scotch 
stubbornness. The manly reason won the day, as it always has in 
the history of the fraternity ; and Sigma Chi freed itself of even the sus¬ 
picion of violating an honorable obligation, the letter of which had always 
been respected. The chapter, of its own accord, ceased to make initia-. 
tions, and in 1882 the Sigma graduated its last member until that day when 
Princeton shall cease to be opposed to the educational intelligence of the 
country. 

The following fraternities have established chapters at the College of 
New Jersey : Beta Theta Pi (1843-50 and 1878-80); Delta Kappa Epsilon

ROANOKE COLLEGE. 


The Virginia Collegiate Institute, which was established at Salem in 1847, by an Act of 
the Virginia Legislature, was erected into a College in 1853. At that time, outside of its 
charter, there was little to entitle it to its new name. It had a library of 140 volumes, and a 
property in lands and buildings worth $10,000, upon which there was a debt of $8,000. It 
had an overworked and underpaid faculty of several members. Its strongest point was that it 
had a thoroughly strong man at its head, Rev. D. F. Bittle, D.D. At great personal sacri¬ 
fice he led it forward in its struggling years, before, during, and after the late war. During 
that life-destroying conflict its doors were kept open, and the college bell rang its daily call 
to peaceful tasks. Under President Bittle’s efficient administration the small library increased 
until a building was needed for its accommodation, which was erected to his memory in 1879. 

The college buildings now consist of a spacious main edifice, enlarged by wings; two 
three-story buildings, one on the east and one on the west of the main building, and the 
library building. All of these are substantially built of brick and are well suited to their 
uses. The college grounds contain about twenty acres. A most luxuriant grove covers the 
grounds in front of the buildings, made up of forest and ornamental trees, interspersed with 
shrubbery and carpeted with green. A recreation ground of five acres, in addition, is 
provided for field sports, which are encouraged. The buildings and grounds are estimated 
to be worth $75,000, and the productive endowment is probably $50,000. From 1853 to 1865 
the number of graduates each year was small, but since the latter date there has been a very 
promising increase. The whole number of students matriculated in the thirty-five years of its 
■existence has been something over 1,500, and the total of graduates is about 300. The college 
offers three courses of study, each covering four years. In each course it retains the old 
classification of students into Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. They are the 
Ancient Classical Course, the Modern Classical Course and the Scientific Course. Besides 
these there is a Business Course, intended to fit young men for mercantile pursuits. To those 
attending this course, the English branches taught in the college proper are open free of 
expense. 

Salem is a pleasant, growing town of 2,000 population, given to hospitality and noted for 
social refinement, and moral and religious character. The college is their pride. Having 
outlived the many hardships of its earlier years, it has gone forward during the last few years 
with great assurances of success under the vigorous lead of Julius D. Dreher, Ph.D., aided 
by a corps of eight professors and instructors. Roanoke is a college, pure and simple; It 
makes no pretentions to anything more. Its work is thorough. Its aim as a college is high. 
Its want of an endowment only limits its usefulness. The number of students has not varied 
greatly during the last few years from 150. The college is patronized very largely by the 
Lutheran Church in the Southern States. It is not sectarian, however, and no religious tests 
are applied to students.

THE TAU. 


THE T/\(J. 


The Tau Chapter was established through the instrumentality of 
Hon. James M. Liddell, of Eta, who had left the University of Mississippi 
in 1871 to enter the thriving little college in the beautiful valley of the 
Roanoke. He found here, between the green slopes of the Blue Ridge and 
the Alleghenies, an institution where he believed the Sigma Chi would 
flourish; and here, in the early part of the college year of 1871-2, he soon 
found himself the leader of a little group of friends who had formed a strong 
attachment for each other. Under Liddell’s directions, a petition was drawn 
up and signed by Charles H. Wood, Samuel D. Denny, Walter M. Denny, 
Henry A. Wiley, George G. McConkey, James N. Early, Orin R. Sholars and 
James M. Liddell. This petition received favorable action, and on January g r 
1872, the chapter was formally instituted by Liddell and Thomas L. Conella, 
of the Zeta. Owing to the key-hole curiosity of a member of the Sigma 
Alpha fraternity, the movement had become known throughout the college ; 
and as there was no reason for keeping secret the organization of the new 
chapter, as was common in those days, its birth was celebrated with all the 
festivities of a successful banquet. In spite of the existence of four Greek- 
letter fraternities in the institution, the Tau prospered and speedily claimed 
with confidence the leading position in the college. Its members were men 
of strong character and unusual energy; and although they were mostly 
new students and in the lower classes, several of them had been solicited 
by Alpha Tau Omega. They took prompt advantage of internal dissensions 
in the local chapter of Phi Delta Theta and, indeed, permitted nothing to 
remain undone that would add to the strength and reputation of their 
chapter. During the session of 1873-4 they added to their rolls the names 
of two honorary members, who subsequently took an active interest in the 
fraternity, Dr. Oscar Wiley, of Salem, Va., who was initiated on November 
9, 1873, and Dr. R. F. Berkley, then of Roanoke County, Va., who was 
initiated on January 18, 1874. The chapter took a lively interest in the 
work of the general fraternity. Once only has it been unrepresented in the 
biennial conventions ; its active members attended the Grand Chapter 
of 1876 in a body; and three of the chapters of Sigma Chi have owed their 
existence to the zeal and enthusiasm of the Tau. Charles H. Wood was the 
founder of the Nu at Cumberland University ; Orin R. Sholars was a 
founder of the Pi; and Richard B. Levy, Jr., at the University of Texas, 
established the Alpha Nu. The fraternity has never found in the college 
the material for a chapter large in numbers; but since 1872 over one

hundred members have been initiated. In competition with its local rivals, 
the chapter has been eminently successful. One-third of the honors and 
medals of the college and of the honorable positions in its flourishing liter¬ 
ary societies, have fallen to the Tau since 1871 ; and its social position is 
its boast. Its rivals are Sigma Alpha (1859-80); Phi Gamma Delta (1867); 
Phi Delta Theta (1869 ); Alpha Tau Omega (1869).

POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE OF THE ST/YTE OF 

peHnsylvaHia. 


Had we the data, the complete history of this institution might be written, for its work 
has been completed and it no longer opens its doors to students. It was located in Philadel¬ 
phia, on Thirteenth street, north of Callowhill. Its charter was dated about 1853, and it 
suspended in 1885. During these years it did an excellent work, and the men it sent forth 
were successful in a marked degree. While bearing the name of the State as part of its title, 
it was in no sense a state institution. It was not officered or supported by the common¬ 
wealth. One or two appropriations of a few thousand dollars each were voted it by the 
Legislature, but only enough to give it temporary relief in financial emergencies. Its most 
prosperous years were from 1862 to 1876. The average attendance during this time was 
about seventy, and the whole number of its graduates does not exceed four hundred. It 
may be said that, prior to the founding of the Lehigh University, it received much of the 
patronage that the University afterwards received. The University of Pennsylvania, also, 
through the “ Towne Scientific School,” opened competition at its very door. These two 
schools seriously affected the Polytechnic College during the last five years of its existence, 
and hastened its suspension. Having nothing to depend upon in the way of endowment, 
the lessening of its attendance lessened its income, and its death was a necessity. 

From 1866 to 1877 it ranked, perhaps, among the very first as a school of Civil Engi¬ 
neering. The departments of Chemistry, Architecture, of Mines, of Civil Engineering, and 
of Mechanical Engineering, covered its professed work. Mathematics was taught with great 
thoroughness, as also were Elementary Chemistry and Physics. At the Centennial Exhibi¬ 
tion in 1876, the Polytechnic College received the highest award of merit “ for publication, 
and for students’ work in Natural History, in Architecture, and in Mechanical Engineering.” 
Its corps of professors varied in number from three to eight at different times. Its first and 
last and only President was Alfred L. Kennedy, M.D.

THE UPSILON. 


THE UPSILON. 


The Upsilon Chapter was established through the instrumentality of 
Maxwell Kinkead, an initiate of the Iota, but at the date of the founding 
of the Upsilon a student of the Polytechnic College. A charter was granted 
as early as June 21,1865, to the following first members : Maxwell Kinkead, 
Robert E. Pettit, George W. Clyde, Thomas Hunt, Morris M. Defrees, John 
J. Crawford and Joseph H. Moore. On December 12, 1865, the ceremonies 
of initiation were conducted by Robert Farnham, of Epsilon, assisted by 
Kinkead and by Charles U. Raymond, of Rho, who was then a student at 
the University of Pennsylvania. The chapter was organized and maintained 
under the strongest opposition the President of the college could muster ; 
but the students of “ the Poly ” were probably as independent a body of 
undergraduates as ever came together in an educational institution. Being 
the only chapter in the college, the Upsilon could and did select only the 
best fellows and leading students. They were men who loved the royal 
good-fellowship of their chapter life; but who recognized also the oppor¬ 
tunity for mutual improvement it afforded. Many of them now look back 
upon the papers and discussions that gave such unusual zest to all their 
chapter meetings, as the most effective stimulus to originality in their scien¬ 
tific work. The chapter demonstrated its right to live by an almost ideal 
usefulness to its members ; and in spite of faculty opposition it continued 
to flourish until 1872. During this year almost all of its members left or 
graduated, the President’s hostility was renewed, and its dissolution was 
seriously threatened. The exertions, however, of Henry B. Fowler, George 
Ogden, James C. Van Dyke, John H. Kain and other members of Kappa 
Chapter, who were either residents of Philadelphia or post-graduate students 
of the Polytechnic, soon placed the chapter on a prosperous footing. What 
would have been its history in the declining fortunes of the college, it is 
impossible to tell; for on May 27, 1874, the charter of Upsilon was so 
amended as to permit the initiation of students at the University of Penn¬ 
sylvania. This movement was disastrous to the chapter. It introduced 
into the Upsilon an element out of harmony with its traditions and its 
spirit. The old distinctive scientific interest was gone, and with it went 
the vitality of the chapter. After a considerable number of University 
students had been initiated, the mistake was seen. The members at the 
Polytechnic began to look with disfavor upon the initiation of students of 
the University; and the University members began to grow restive under 
this restraint. The University men were active and ambitious, and early

in 1875 they petitioned for a separate charter. The result of their success was 
the disruption of the chapter. This was not accomplished without consid¬ 
erable feeling between the opposing factions, which for a long time seriously 
affected the interests of Sigma Chi at Philadelphia. The defeat of Upsilon 
killed all fraternity spirit, and the chapter became extinct in 1876, while 
the Phi Phi flourished at the University for a few years, when it too became 
dormant. Upon impartial reflection, it seems impossible to attach any real 
blame to either side of the unfortunate controversy. The fatal mistake 
was the original initiation by Upsilon of students of the University, and 
the subsequent division of interests was the natural consequence of this 
error. Had the Polytechnic College lived and prospered, it might be a 
source of deeper regret to the fraternity that its judgment erred in extend¬ 
ing the jurisdiction of Upsilon over the University of Pennsylvania, or that 
it did not withdraw this extension of power instead of granting a separate 
charter. It may well be that if the Phi Phi had been born later and not as 
the child of disruption, a prosperous chapter of Sigma Chi would now 
flourish in the City of Brotherly Love. 

At the Richmond Convention of 1874, George Ogden, a royal fellow 
and a tireless worker, was Upsilon’s representative. Moved by his eloquence 
and the splendid entertainment offered by his chapter, the Grand Chapter 
enthusiastically voted to meet at Philadelphia in 1876. But, alas for the 
prophetic eye ! In the Fall of 1876 Upsilon was lying in a freshly covered 
grave; and Phi Phi, an apparently robust yearling, did the honors of the 
occasion, assisted, however, by a joint committee from both chapters.

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE. 


Tha charter of this college dates from 1826. Its first building was erected on the 
present site in 1834; and a class of four were the first graduates in 1836. From that date 
to the period of the war its success was not remarkable. A class of a dozen students was 
large and one of a score unusual. The grounds were ill-kept, and the buildings dingy and 
uninviting. 

In 1849 th e Synod of Pennsylvania, of the Presbyterian Church, took the College under 
its “ care and patronage.” Since then it has been a school of the adherents of that religious 
faith. In 1863 the students were few and the annual income not more than four thousand 
dollars ; but at this juncture Rev. Wm. C. Cattell, D.D., was called to the Presidency, and 
under his wise and able management it grew rapidly in favor. New friends were rallied to its 
support. The old college building was enlarged and beautified. A chemical laboratory, an 
observatory, a range of dormitories and a great Scientific Hall, all followed in quick succes¬ 
sion. The most generous of its patrons in bringing about these improvements was Mr. Ario 
Pardee, of Hazleton, Pa. From 1864 to 1869 he gave an aggregate of $200,000, which a year 
or two later he further increased by a gift of $300,000. Pardee Hall, for the erection of which 
this latter sum was given, is one of the most complete scientific college buildings in the United 
States. It consists of a center building five stories high, 53 feet front by 83 feet deep, and 
two lateral wings, each measuring 61 feet in length by 31 in width, four stories high, the 
whole terminating in two cross-wings, 42 feet front by 84 feet deep, and four stories high. 
The entire front is 256 feet. The material is of Trenton brown stone, trimmed with light 
Ohio sandstone. It is heated by steam and lighted by gas. The original building was 
burned, June 4, 1879, ^ ut was re built on the same site and of the same dimensions and 
appearance. There are nine houses for the professors, and the group of buildings number 
over twenty in all. The grounds embrace some thirty acres, and are upon the plateau 
above the town. Looking towards the south the view is wild and picturesque, embracing 
the river and the Jersey shore. Easton, Pennsylvania, where the College is located, is the 
gateway to the valley of the Lehigh, and stands, in the language of Thomas Penn, who laid 
it out, “ at the forks of the Delaware,” easy of access from New York, Philadelphia, 01- 
inland cities. 

In Lafayette College we find great prominence given to the old conventional, four-year 
Classical Course. As a common basis for professional training it has not been ruthlessly 
cast aside. The sanctity of tradition has caused innovations upon it to be received with 
coyness, and when adopted, they have been grafted upon the old regime , rather than 
allowed to take its place as to root and branch. There are three departments, Classical 
Scientific and Technical, each covering a course of four years. There is no preparatory 
department, and young men alone are received. The number of Professors and Instructors 
is twenty-two, and of students 247. The graduating class of 1888 numbered about fifty. 

The future of the . College is assured, and it will, to all appearance, continue the rapid 
strides with which it has been pushing forward during the last twenty years. It remains to 
be said only that the men who control it are thoroughly Christian, and yet believe that 
Christianity embraces all science. It is proudly Presbyterian, yet open to all faiths upon 
like conditions.

THE PHI. 


THE PHI. 


The Phi was established mainly through the efforts of Hon. Robert; 

E. James, who had transferred his allegiance from the University at 
Lewisburg to Lafayette College, after having become a member of the 
Kappa. In January, 1867, a petition signed by Robert E. James, Robert 
A. Sebring, Horace Roland and Thomas D. Logan, was brought before 
the fraternity with the strong endorsement of Kappa Chapter. A charter 
was granted on the nth of the following May; and on May 17, David R. 
Landis, of Kappa, visited Easton, bringing with him the long sought 
charter and other documents. Landis and James instituted the chapter 
with becoming ceremony. The new fraternity, although confronted by 
numerous rivals, was at once recognized and accorded a high rank by 
reason of the ability and fine social standing of its members. This dis¬ 
tinction it long maintained; and clear down to its discontinuance in the Rail 
of 1887, the chapter enjoyed a controlling influence in the athletics and 
general college life of Lafayette. Her social preeminence was practically 
undisputed, and many a literary and scholarly honor fell to her share. 

For many years the Phi was one of the leaders of Sigma Chi. The 
energy and ability she displayed in local affairs were carried into the 
internal work of the fraternity, and won her equal prestige there. In almost 
all the conventions, down to that at Washington in 1880, her representa¬ 
tives took important part. The archives and historical records of the 
fraternity show that the Phi was interested in every enterprise; and in 
1876 Sigma Chi’s second catalogue was published under the auspices of a 
committee from this chapter. “The Songs of Phi” was the first published 
collection of Sigma Chi songs. The Princeton Chapter drew its life from 
Easton; and the members of Phi were delegated to establish the chapters 
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Lehigh University. * 

From 1882 to 1884 the Phi appeared to its friends and members to be 
enjoying a very flood-tide of prosperity. With a large membership of con¬ 
genial, whole-souled fellows, Sigma Chi considered herself the leading fra¬ 
ternity at Lafayette; but the correspondence of that period shows that 
social and local interests were absorbing the chapter’s chief attention, 
leaving routine work and the general fraternity duties to shift for themselves ; 
and when, after a brilliant year, the class of 1884 graduated, a marked 
reaction set in. During the next two years the Grand Council exhausted 
every effort to reinvigorate the chapter, the Grand Tribune and three 
different Grand Praetors of the First Province making personal visits to

Easton for this purpose. By this it must not be understood that the quality 
of its membership had declined or that it was less a credit to Sigma Chi in 
contrast with its local rivals. The subsequent discontinuance of the chapter 
was due to procrastination and a most unfortunate complication of circum¬ 
stances. The regular members of the chapter in 1885 and 1886 were 
capital fellows and exceedingly popular in the institution; but just as their 
efforts to restore the former prestige pf the chapter were meeting with suc¬ 
cess, they were overtaken by an unexpected calamity in the advent at 
Easton of a member of another chapter. This man, whose utter unworthi¬ 
ness to wear the badge of Sigma Chi has since been fully demonstrated, 
was a stumbling block to every scheme of advancement. His unfortunate 
personal characteristics alone prevented the initiation of many desirable 
men, and dampened all the hopes of the chapter. Of course, his imme¬ 
diate expulsion was advised ; but Phi Chapter had seldom expelled a member 
and was proud of her traditions. Moreover, the obnoxious member was 
full of talk of leaving college and of joining some other fraternity, in 
neither of which projects was he even slightly discouraged. In the constant 
hope of avoiding his expulsion , session after session passed until the close of 
1886-7, when he pursued both of his long anticipated courses, and by his 
graduation and moral perjury Sigma Chi was relieved of one of the few 
men who have utterly disgraced her. 

The commencement of 1887 found the chapter with four members, two 
of whom, Snowden Ashford and Thomas Fisher, were capital fellows and 
thorough-going Sigs. Relieved of their recent incubus, they set vigorously 
and successfully to work. Several first-rate fellows were pledged, and the 
summer vacation of 1887 saw Phi with every prospect brightening. Nothing 
seemed lacking, when Fisher and Ashford were both unexpectedly offered 
valuable positions, which they felt they could not reject and which pre¬ 
vented their return to Easton. Phi opened the session of 1887-8 with the 
two remaining active members, who proved to be weak but clever fellows, 
without experience, and sadly deficient in energy and moral stamina. 
Utterly disheartened at the loss of the two older members, they igno- 
miniously abandoned the chapter and, to the consternation of Ashford and 
Fisher, united with the Chi Phi fraternity before the college session had 
advanced a month. They were at once declared dishonorably expelled by 
the Grand Council, and Fisher returned to Easton to take proper care of the 
chapter furniture, library and archives. Deeply chagrined, the fraternity was 
naturally unwilling to risk an immediate reorganization; and, without 
withdrawing the charter, it was decided to discontinue the chapter. The 
Alpha Rho had recently been established at Lehihg University, only a few 
miles distant from Lafayette ; and to it were committed the archives of the 
chapter. The magnificent endowment of the former institution, also, seemed 
seriously to threaten the attendance of Lafayette; and thus far the reor-

ganization of Phi has not been attempted. The large number of fraternities 
established in the college is shown by the following list: Phi Kappa Sigma 
(1853-83) ; Delta Kappa Epsilon (1855); Zeta Psi (1857) ; Theta Delta Chi 
(1866); Phi Kappa Psi (1869); Phi Delta Theta (1873); Chi Phi (1874); 
Delta Tau Delta (1875) ; Delta Beta Phi (1878-82); Phi Gamma Delta (1883).

HANOVER COLLEGE. 


Animated by the desire to provide itself with an educated ministry, the Presbytery of 
Salem, embracing Indiana and Illinois and connected with the Synod of Kentucky, in 1826 
requested the pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Planover, Ind., Rev. John Finley Crowe, 
D. D., to open and conduct an academy until further provision could be made. The village 
of Hanover was a little hamlet on the beautiful bluffs of the Ohio River, a few miles south of 
Madison, Ind., once.the expected metropolis of the West. It is a spot the beauty of whose 
scenery is not equalled, certainly not surpassed, in the whole valley of the Mississippi. Here, 
on January 1, 1827, with six pupils, in a log cabin, was the humble beginning of Hanover 
College and of the McCormick Theological Seminary. The institution was chartered by the 
Indiana Legislature on December 30, 1828, under the title of Hanover Academy. The 
Theological Department was removed from Hanover to New Albany, Ind., in 1840 ; and 
in 1859 it was transferred to Chicago, where it is now one of the most successful and 
prosperous theological schools of this country. In 1833, by Act of the Legislature, the 
institution was re-incorporated as Hanover College. By active agencies in the East and 
West, funds had been collected and the necessary buildings had been erected for the 
Preparatory, Collegiate and Theological Departments; and the catalogue 0L1834-5 shows 
an attendance of two hundred and thirty-six students, gathered from every State along the 
Ohio Valley from Pennsylvania to Missouri. Until the outbreak of the civil war the South, 
even as far distant as Texas, was largely represented. Unfortunately for this early prosperity, 
the Manual Labor System, for aiding poor students, attempted by many institutions of that 
day, was tried at Hanover. It failed, after having involved the College in debt for every day 
of its continuance ; and while thus embarrassed, a fearful tornado swept over the place in 1837, 
leaving the principal college edifice in ruins. From these misfortunes the College rallied, 
repaired its buildings and cancelled its debts, but was much enfeebled. 

In 1844 a new charter was obtained, said to be the most favorable in the State, conferring 
the powers of a university and placing the institution fully under the control of the Synod of 
Indiana. From that time forward the institution has steadily progressed, and has done an 
immense work for higher Christian education in Indiana and the West. Over three thousand 
students have been educated, in whole or in part, within its walls, many of whom have 
attained high usefulness and distinction. It has graduated six hundred and forty-three stu¬ 
dents from the regular collegiate departments. The grounds embrace over two hundred acres, 
over eighty acres of which are gently rolling plateaux, bounded on the north, east and south 
by steep hillsides and deep valleys. The campus contains sixteen acres, lying on the edge of 
the village of Hanover on the elevated bluffs of the Ohio, five hundred feet above the level of 
the river, and bounded by deep wooded ravines. The principal edifice, the college building, 
is about two hundred feet long, and consists of a center building of nearly eighty feet square, 
with lateral and transverse wings. The other buildings belonging to the College are the spa¬ 
cious and beautiful residence for the President, erected in 1876 ; “College Point House,” 
erected in 1882, as a hotel and dormitory for gentlemen ; the modest music hall, and the 
ladies’ dormitory and boarding house. A well equipped observatory is now in process of 
erection. Co-education was adopted in 1880. The property of the institution amounts to 
$250,000 ; and very large additions are now certain to be made in a few years. The College 
has always maintained an exceedingly high standard of scholarship, and its work has been 
distinctively independent and thorough. The curriculum embraces only the regular classical 
and scientific courses, with a limited number of elective studies ; but the text books and 
methods of instruction are in full accord with the best modern thought. A department of 
Music and Art has recently been added. The libraries contain about 10,000 volumes. In 
spite of its modest endowment, Hanover College has enjoyed a wide and enviable reputation 
for more than fifty years. Daniel W. Fisher, D.D., LL.D,, has been its President since 1879. 
The faculty consists of eight professors, three lecturers and five instructors ; and the average 
attendance is something over one hundred and fifty.

THE CHI. 


THE CHI. 


In view of the intimate connection that existed between Miami Uni¬ 
versity and Hanover College, it may well seem a matter of surprise that a 
chapter of Sigma Chi was not planted at the latter institution in the earliest 
days of the fraternity. Not only was there much in common in the educa¬ 
tional policy of the two colleges; but as Miami was largely under the 
control of the Presbyterian Church, there existed a bond of sympathy as 
well as a generous rivalry between it and the historic school of Calvinism 
on the banks of the Ohio. The adherents of one were usually the friends 
also of the other; and at least a half dozen of the professors of Hanover 
have been graduates of the University at Oxford. The President of 
Hanover from 1838 to 1843 became Miami’s President in 1845 ; and it 
was a significant coincidence that in 1849 was succeeded at Oxford 
by Professor W. C. Anderson, of Hanover, while Dr. Thomas E. Thomas, 
a graduate of Miami, became the President of Hanover College. 
Students of either institution were continually changing . to the other; 
and the mutual acquaintance thus created was unusually favorable to inter¬ 
collegiate relations. But it was the day of the lyceum and the lecture 
bureau, and the literary and debating societies naturally absorbed most of 
the undergraduate activities. At Hanover, especially, these societies were 
the all-absorbing centres of student life. Like the historic societies of 
Princeton, their proceedings were strictly secret, their local rivalry was 
intense, and both fear and jealousy led them to oppose the advent of frater¬ 
nal rivals whose mysterious influence seemed to threaten their own prestige- 
During the first half of the century, an informal alliance had been formed 
between the “ Union Literary Societies ” of the two institutions ; but it was 
not until 1853, during the presidencies of Anderson and Thomas, that Beta 
Theta Pi, a Miami fraternity, founded the first Greek-letter society at 
Hanover College. Even then the Greeks were bitterly opposed not only by 
the undergraduate sentiment of the institution but by the declared hostility 
of President Thomas’ successor; and it was not until long after that the 
White Cross was carried to Hanover from the historic halls of old Miami. 

In the Fall of 1869, Samuel Perry Dillon entered the junior class of 
Hanover College. He had not only been a student at Miami University, 
but his birthplace, Hamilton, Ohio, was the home of many of the old mem¬ 
bers of the Oxford chapter; and he entered Hanover an enthusiastic ad¬ 
herent of Sigma Chi. Familiar with the high standard of its founders, for 
a year and a half he carried a Sigma Chi badge in his pocket, waiting for a

suitable opportunity to establish a chapter. In the Fall of 1870 this oppor¬ 
tunity seemed to have arrived. The strife between the three existing 
fraternities was exceedingly bitter, and their mutual recrimination had 
repelled a number of the best fellows in college. A half dozen of these 
men, who had declined the solicitation of various fraternities, soon found 
themselves attracted to each other by personal friendship and mutual 
interests, and to them Dillon speedily attached himself. The project of 
establishing a new fraternity, which would meet their own ideas of such 
an organization, was a favorite topic with this little group ; and Dillon 
did not find it a difficult task to unite them in a petition to Sigma Chi. 
The document was forwarded to Delaware, Ohio, and a favorable 
answer was confidently expected ; but the weeks wore on and confidence 
gave place to anxiety, and finally to disappointment and chagrin, when it 
was learned that the charter was to be denied. In this emergency Dillon’s 
experience and acquaintance proved invaluable. Three years of active 
service in the army had taught him not so easily to admit defeat, and the fight 
for a charter was immediately taken up in earnest. A new petition was pre¬ 
pared, and the privilege of reconsideration was secured. It was ascertained 
that the defeat of the first petition arose from the belief of certain Indiana 
chapters, that a fourth fraternity could not properly be supported in the 
college; and confidence was at once restored by the knowledge that the 
character of the petitioners furnished an overpowering answer to this objec¬ 
tion. Thomson and the others at once deluged the fraternity with letters, 
while Dillon started on a personal visit to Indianapolis, the seat of the oppo¬ 
sition. Rho was soon convinced by his arguments ; and a trip to Green- 
castle was equally successful. Xi and Rho changed their votes, and the 
complete triumph of the petition was assured. 

During the discussion that followed it was naturally impossible to 
prevent some knowledge of the movement from leaking out; and, in 
order to secure privacy, the -little band of petitioners held their secret 
meetings under Crowe Falls, one of the numerous cascades that abound 
in the beautiful gorges of Hanover. Here and by the side of a huge rock 
in the same picturesque ravine, the letters were read and answers were 
devised in safety. In spite of these precautions, however, suspicion was 
aroused, and early in May a “ bogus ” circular was widely distributed 
announcing the arrival that morning of a new chapter of Sigma Chi. The 
prophecy, of course, was premature and served only to strengthen the general 
belief in the falsity of the rumor. In the meantime the reconsideration was 
progressing ; the meetings by the Falls became more frequent, and enthusiasm 
grew with the leaves and flowers of a Hanover Spring; until at last, on the 
30th of May (1871), Hon. U. Z. Wiley, then a student of the Law Depart¬ 
ment of Butler University, where he had become a member of Rho, paid a 
“ casual visit” to Hanover, his alma mater. Lambda also Sent a repre-

sentative to be present at the establishment of the new chapter ; but the 
“ surprise ” of the College was too valuable to risk, and he left the badges he 
had brought at Madison, six miles from Hanover, and returned to Blooming¬ 
ton. That night, at the old Logan Homestead on the edge of the beau¬ 
tiful bluffs south of the College, Chi Chapter, of Sigma Chi was born. Her 
charter members were Samuel P. Dillon, Williel Thomson, Joseph W. 
Mann, Robert A. Mathers, John H. Wade and Albert S. Sharpless. After 
the mystic rites had been performed, the installation was completed in the 
dining-room of the old mansion with the first banquet of that long series 
with which the good fellowship of Chi has enlivened the after years. It 
was a jolly crowd, and as the songs and the laughter floated out on the 
bluffs and over “ the beautiful river,” it was well that the College was many 
a long rod distant. But the smallest of the hours drew on, and none was 
wiser, as the boys came out to say good-night beneath the stars. It would 
require the pen of a poet to picture the panorama that spread before 
Chi Chapter on her natal night—the bluffs, the tree-clad hills of old 
Kentucky and far below, now lost beneath the shadow of the hils, now 
bright again, the beautiful Ohio winding its silvery course between. 
The old fraternal grip was never learned by truer hands or in a lovelier 
scene. 

The following morning Hanover was treated to a genuine surprise ; and 
as seven White Crosses were worn quietly into chapel, they were greeted 
with rounds of applause, which the faculty, with all their dignity, were for 
a time utterly unable to quell. That the new fraternity had the respect of 
the institution was clearly apparent. At the time of its founding Mann was 
the President of one of the literary societies, the chief undergraduate 
distinction of the College, while Dillon had just laid down the gavel in 
the other. Wade was chosen President of his society during the suc¬ 
ceeding term ; Thomson was the leading scholar of his class, and Mann 
won the Salutatory of 1872. The literary societies of the institution 
apparently had not suffered from the advent of the fraternities. Although 
they were no longer secret and had declined in public importance along 
with the village lyceum and the cross-roads debating club, they then 
held and still hold two sessions every Friday, afternoon and evening, one 
for declamations, essays and orations, and the other for business and 
debate. They were the chosen fields for legitimate fraternity rivalry, and 
their “ Spring Exhibitions ” were the great events of the college year. It 
is therefore significant that Dillon, Mann and Wade were orators on these 
entertainments in 1871, Dillon having the coveted honor of the valedictory 
address. Poor Mathers was able to remain in college but a single year and 
died in 1875 ; and Sharpless was a modest freshman. 

With such a membership the success of the chapter was assured. A 
meeting room was found in the old rambling building, on the outskirts of 


HANOVER COLLEGE.

the village, which had formerly been used as a ladies’ seminary; and 
matters soon settled into the routine of a quiet college life. During the fol¬ 
lowing year the membership was increased to fourteen, and the chapter 
was as successful as it could well desire. This prosperity continued until 
September of 1874, when college opened with but four members in attend¬ 
ance. The quartette, however,—Eastman, Evans, Garrison and Bright— 
were equal to the occasion; and after a year of vigorous work the chapter 
roll was increased by the names of a number of the best fellows in the 
institution. This was the ebb tide of the chapter’s prosperity. Since 1875 
Chi’s average membership has been a dozen, once reaching eighteen and 
once falling to seven. In 1879 it touched its high-water mark ; and that 
year the chapter removed to a larger hall in the same building, dedicating 
its new quarters with a famous banquet. A few years afterward it secured 
the entire second story of a new building erected for a village store, which 
it fitted up in what was then considered quite elaborate style. These rooms 
it has since occupied ; and there it will remain until it moves during the 
present college year to live beneath its own vine and fig tree in its perma¬ 
nent chapter home. 

The Sigma Chi ideal of a rounded manhood has been the standard of 
Chi Chapter from th-e beginning. It has made Sigma Chi the one rival of 
all of Hanover’s rival Greeks. With the “society” chapter it has com¬ 
peted for social polish and all that “ society ” stands for among college 
boys. With the “ athletic ” chapter it has contended in every field of 
athletics ; it has met the “ oratorical ” chapter in competition on the 
rostrum ; its scholarship has often been pitted against the labor of the 
“ digs,” and “college life ” and “ college politics ” are well acquainted with 
“ the Sigs.” Its policy has not been to initiate “ specialists ” in one or 
more directions; but everywhere the influence of the chapter has been 
exerted to strengthen and develop a rounded manhood in each of its 
individual members. The boys of Chi have been the admitted leaders of 
the college fun; and many an escapade has been laid at their doors, with 
little but their roistering good-fellowship on which to base the charge. 
Their social proclivities, indeed, have been a favorite campaign accusation 
of their rivals. Their annual banquet was long a prominent event of each 
commencement week in the social circles of the little town ; and the pride 
of the chapter for years was centered in its “ Sigma Chi girls.” 

In college politics the history of Chi is proverbial. For minor details, 
we must refer to the biographies of its members ; but in one direction alone 
the record is worthy of mention. In 1876 the College entered the Inter- 
Collegiate Oratorical Association of Indiana, to which each of six or seven 
colleges were entitled to send three delegates and one orator annually. The 
victors in a local contest open to all have always been the representatives 
of Hanover in the State Contest of this association ; but the election of 


The ctti. 


328 

delegates has been the great political event of every college year. What 
thrilling tales of plots and counter plots, of rivalry and hot debate, of 
feverish anxiety and wild enthusiasm come trooping back to memory as we 
write; but it must be enough to say, that in spite of all opposing combina¬ 
tions, at times embracing every rival, each -year since 1876 has seen the 
triumphant election of at least one of the three delegates from the ranks of 
Sigma Chi. At last, despairing of political success, in 1886 the rival frater¬ 
nities proposed to,make the three highest competitors in the local contest 
for orator the delegates to the State Association. The suggestion unani¬ 
mously prevailed, and that year the three delegates from Hanover wore the 
badge of Sigma Chi. Twice since 1880 has Chi held the Presidency of the 
Inter-State Oratorical Association. The President of the Indiana Associa¬ 
tion in 1886 and 1887 were Hanover Sigma Chis and a Sigma Chi Vice 
President presided over the Indiana Contest of 1888. 

But it is hard to distinguish history from boasting, and we refrain. 
Political honors may be valuable mainly as proofs of energy and practical 
ability; and while Chi entered the political arena with a rare zest and 
hugely enjoyed its opportunities for measuring lances with her rivals, she 
was neither clannish nor narrow-minded. Pan-Hellenism received its first 
real impetus at Hanover, from the elaborate Sigma Chi banquet at the 
College Point House in 1884, at which the faculty and representatives of 
each of the other fraternities were invited guests. This was the most suc¬ 
cessful social affair ever given at Hanover and led to the inauguration of an 
annual Pan-Hellenic banquet, under the joint management of all the frater¬ 
nities of the college. But the achievements of the chapter have not been 
confined to social and political matters. The White Cross has always been 
prominent in the athletics of the institution ; and when, in 1887-8, the foot¬ 
ball championship of the State was won by Hanover, the captain and trainer 
of her team was a member of Sigma Chi. Seven of the fourteen orators 
who have represented Hanover College in the Oratorical Contests at 
Indianapolis have been members of Sigma Chi. Three times during those 
fourteen years Hanover secured the second prize, its representative on each 
occasion being a member of Chi. 

That the literary societies have been lavish of their honors a glance at 
the biographical data of the chapter’s membership will show, although only 
the most important positions have been given. That a man need not be a 
“ dig ” to achieve distinction in the class-room and the chapel, the history of 
Chi has proved. In 1871 no honors were given ; but four times since then a 
Sigma Chi has led his class in scholarship and has delivered the valedictory 
address, and three times a Sigma Chi has received the second classical 
honor. In 1877 Chi’s only graduate delivered the Scientific Oration, and 
ten years later sickness alone prevented the fraternity taking both the honors 
at Commencement. Positions on the Sophomore Exhibitions are deter-

mined by the grades of the class in chapel declamations. Seven times 
since its founding Chi has received first honor on this exhibition, and four 
times she has taken second. The grades of the class in elocution and 
scholarship determine the positions on the Junior Exhibitions, and until 
1880 the two highest in rank were selected to debate. Sigma Chi furnished 
a debater for the exhibitions of 1872, 1874, 1876, 1878 and 1879. In 1875 
no debate occurred, and the honorary position of last speaker was given to 
a Sigma Chi. In 1877 no exhibition occurred ; and since 1880, when the 
position of last speaker become the place of highest honor, three times a 
Sigma Chi has filled the place. The President’s Prizes for the sophomore 
and freshman classes were first offered in 1880 ; and in both that and the 
succeeding year Chi received three prizes out of four. In 1883 Sigma Chi 
received the Freshman Scholarship Prize ; and in 1884 the record was broken 
by the capture of all four of the President’s Prizes, as well as the special 
prize for Essay in the sophomore class. In 1885 chapter again took 
five prizes at Commencement, and one in t886, while various members have 
in other years received special mention in similar contests for distinction. 

Unusual and many-sided as this record is, Chi’s energies have not been 
confined to local channels. Few chapters have exerted a more marked 
influence upon the fraternity at large. Her first birthday had scarcely 
passed before she had planted the White Cross in the fertile soil of Wooster 
University; and later both Zeta Zeta and Kappa Kappa were born as the 
children of Chi. The fraternity magazine has grown from infancy into 
manhood under the management of a member of Chi, and still is edited by 
a member of the chapter. To Chi the fraternity owes the Constitution 
which is now its pride ; and ever since the adoption of its present govern¬ 
mental system, its chief executive officer has been selected from the mem¬ 
bers of Chi. The Prsetorship of the Fourth Province and the Grand 
Quaestorship of the fraternity have been filled by the Hanover Chapter, 
to whose persistent energy is due the successful publication of the present 
edition of the Catalogue itself. 

In 1888 the chapter purchased an acre and a quarter of land within 
a few rods of the College on the edge of the Crowe Falls ravine, of historic 
memory. The property is located on the main approach to the college 
grounds, and commands a magnificent view of the Ohio River and the pic¬ 
turesque ravine. Here, on the most desirable building site in the town, the 
chapter is now erecting a handsome chapter home—the first Chapter-House 
ever built for the Sigma Chi fraternity on its own property, and the first and 
only Chapter-House at Hanover. The building is an attractive modern 
dwelling, expressly designed for the chapter and admirably adapted for its 
use. It has long been the dream of the chapter to erect a home of its own, 
where those that have gone out from alma mater may find a hearty welcome 
whenever business or pleasure may chance to call them to the neighborhood

THE CHI. 


of the old college, and where the undergraduate members will dwell together 
as one family, brothers in fact as in name. The realization of this hope is 
the latest evidence of fortune’s smile. 

Chi’s history is by no means free from the record of defeat. Her rivals 
have frequently been worthy of her steel; a,nd Sigma Chi does not center 
in the little college on the bluffs of the Ohio. These “fardels ” have been 
mentioned here, not in the spirit of egotistical conceit, but because it is 
impossible to paint the warm true grasp of boyish friendship, the kindly 
chiding of a brother’s faults, the sympathetic word, the helping hand, the 
roistering fun and quiet pleasures of her chapter life. The policy of Chi 
has been broad, far-sighted and tireless ; and her latest project is both the 
assurance of her future and the proof of her real success. 

The fraternities at Hanover, other than Sigma Chi, are Beta Theta Pi 
(1853); Phi Gamma Delta (1864); Phi Delta Theta (1868); Delta Tau 
Delta (1872); Kappa Alpha Theta (1882); and Delta Gamma (1882-8). 

It may not be improper to indicate briefly the position of these rivals 
in their respective organizations. Hanover has furnished to Beta Theta Pi 
a General Secretary and, for a short time, the governing chapter of the fra¬ 
ternity ; to Phi Gamma Delta a Chief of its Section; to Phi Delta Theta, a 
Province President and one of the two editors of its Song Book (already 
published) and its Catalogue (now in course of preparation); for Delta Tau 
Delta, it originated and successfully established its official magazine and 
supplied the Grand Chapter of its Third Division from 1875 to 1883 ; and 
at Hanover, Kappa Alpha Theta held its national convention in 1887.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. 


* 


The inscription prepared by Thomas Jefferson for his tomb was : 

“Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence; 
of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom ; and Father of the University 
of Virginia. Born, April 2, 1743, O. S.; Died, -” * 

From 1779 to 1819 he urged and advocated a system of state education, beginning with 
elementary schools, maintained at the public charge and free to all, and leading up to and 
ending with a University, in which should be taught in the highest degree every branch of 
knowledge,—a university that should have no fixed curriculum of study to be pursued alike 
by every student regardless of inclination, disposition, or intended profession, but wherein 
each distinct branch of knowledge should be taught in a separate school by itself, with its 
own special instructors. Such a university was established by act of Assembly passed in 
1819, but a delay of six years occurred in putting it into operation, during which time the 
necessary buildings were erected at a cost of $350,000. 

The University was located near Charlottesville, Albemarle County, among the foot hills 
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and on the 5 th of March, 1825, received students in eight 
schools. From that time to the breaking out of the civil war, it had a successful career. 
Its spirit was modest, generous and progressive, and its professors were able and learned as 
well as laborious and devoted. Several of them were from England and afterward became 
eminent in connection with the London University. More than six hundred young men 
answered to its roll-call in i860, many of whom had come from other states. From 1861 to 
1865 it barely lived. The war over, it again started forward, under many discouragements, 
but with much also to encourage, especially in the way of financial support. Previous to the 
war the sums received from tuition fees were very large. The smaller attendance thereafter 
necessitated other support. In 1869 gifts began to flow toward it; and within ten years 
thereafter it had received aid to the amount of $293,600; and since 1879, no ^ ess ^ an 
$600,000 has been bestowed upon it, making a total of nearly $900,000 in twenty years, 
$700,000 of which has come from outside the State. Its largest gift of $430,000 by the will 
of Arthur A. Austin, of Dedham, Massachusetts, will not be available for some years. Its 
total gifts received before the war amounted only to $68,700. 

The twelve Academical Schools are comprised in two departments, six Literary and six 
Scientific. The Professional Schools cover five departments,—those of Law, Medicine, 
Pharmacy, Engineering and Agriculture. The Agricultural Department owes its organization 
to the liberal gift, by the late Samuel Miller, of $100,000. It dates from 1869. The library 
contains 48,000 volumes and has its own building. The Astronomical Observatory on the 
grounds is the gift of L. J. McCormick, of Chicago, Illinois. It contains a telescope with 
an aperture of 26 inches, constructed by Atvan Clark & Sons at a cost of $50,000. The 
Observatory is endowed in the sum of $75,000. Tuition is charged in all departments. The 
number of students now attending is between 300 and 400. There is, strictly speaking, no 
president or chancellor. A Chairman of the Faculty is annually elected. The State makes 
a grant of $40,000 a year. The degrees conferred are peculiar. They are of eight kinds,— 
for Proficiency in separate branches ; for Graduation in a single school; Bachelor of Letters ; 
Bachelor of Arts; Bachelor of Science; Bachelor of Philosophy ; Doctor of Philosophy ; 
and the degree of Master of Arts. The University is the educational idol of its State and 
of the South ; and, while it is exceedingly conservative, it may be said that it very largely 
fills the ideal that its illustrious founder sought. 


He died July 4, 1826.

THE PSI. 


* 


THE PSI. 


Although the Psi Chapter was first officially chartered as the Rho, 
under date of December io, i860, it must have been established at the close 
of the preceding session. A letter of the Iota, dated March 23, i860, 
announces the arrival, through the Omicron, of the petition from the 
University of Virginia and the favorable action of the Jefferson Chapter. 
George W. Williams was the founder; and associated with him as charter 
members were James G. Cox, Thomas H. Cross, Peter Binford, Philemon 
B. Waters and Hyrltan G. Rucker. There were eight fraternities already 
established at Charlottesville ; and for this reason, although the University 
was the leading institution in the State, considerable delay occurred in the 
granting of the charter. Williams, however, was well known to the mem¬ 
bers of Omicron, and their support resulted in success. To the Dickinson 
Chapter was accordingly entrusted the installation of the petitioners, who 
were initiated with appropriate ceremony by a committee from Omicron, 
consisting of Joseph B. Parker, Rufus E. Shapley and Thomas N. Williams, 
the first two of whom were members of the class of i860. 

Only two of the members of the chapter returned at the opening of the 
Fall session; but the initiation of Harry S. Dixon during the Winter of 
that year was the turning point in its history. The ceremony, which occurred 
in a dimly lighted and unfurnished room in a dreary brick building near 
the railroad station, was at first a disappointing affair to the romantic young 
planter from Mississippi; but it was full of importance to Sigma Chi, in whose 
Southern history Harry S. Dixon has been the most important as well as 
the most interesting personality. Almost before Williams had finished the 
impressive ceremonies of his initiation, he became the most enthusiastic of 
the little trio, and so heartily did they work together that they soon had a 
flourishing organization. They were of the best of that splendid race of 
men of which not only the South but the Nation has been proud. Of them 
and of their chapter Dixon said in 1881 : “More than twenty years ago I 
became a Sigma Chi. In my chapter was collected around me a number of 
chivalrous sons. A fearful war swept over the country, and separated us 
to meet no more. Many of them surrendered their lives to their country; 
others have since passed away in the general chaos that ensued ; but in 
my heart, and I am sure in the hearts of all who survive those days, the 
memories and the friendship then engendered can never pass away. In 
that circle every sentiment of honor and manliness was cherished, every 
precept of good morals and uprightness was inculcated. We did not wear 



UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. 


343 


our badges for boyish show, but because to us they were emblematic of the 
gentleman. They spoke to us then, as they speak to us yet, of those things 
that are noblest in human nature.” 

But the fate of the chapter was that of the Eta, the Sigma and the 
Pi. They were chivalrous, brave fellows, every one, who wore the badge 
of Sigma Chi in 1861; and the boys of the University of Virginia were 
of the Old Dominion’s bluest blood. The University itself practically 
suspended when Virginia seceded from the Union; and the magnificent 
self-sacrifices of the war reached no nobler point than the tale of 
boyish heroism that is written in the history of her sons. Placing their 
records in charge of the Monticello Bank, the members of the chapter 
hastily left college for “ the front.” Then came war’s bloody wreckage and 
the long, sad tale. The fraternity is familiar with the story of Dixon’s 
efforts to enlist, of his failure on account of his youth, of his service on the 
staff of Gen. French, and of his thrilling experiences in the “ Washington 
Cavalry,” of “ The Bloody Twenty-eighth” Mississippi Volunteers. It was 
while a member of the celebrated brigade which Gen. W. T. Sherman com¬ 
plimented as “the best cavalry on earth,” that the members of Eta and 
Psi, led by Dixon, founded and maintained the celebrated Constantine 
Chapter of Sigma Chi. The history of that chapter, unique in the annals 
of fraternal orders, is of itself the most eloquent tribute ever paid to the 
fraternity. But we cannot here relate the wonderful war history of Sigma 
Chi, crowded as it is with romantic and interesting incidents. The boys ot 
Sigma Chi were, indeed, as Lockwood wrote, “congenial, high-minded, 
talented fellows;” and the annals of those early days are full of the spirit 
of chivalry and the record of noble deeds. 

The marvelous hold which the fraternity had acquired so early in 
the South was due to the knight-errantry of Lockwood and of Dixon 
and to that genuine fraternal affection that even the horrors of embit¬ 
tered strife were unable to impair. Not only was the Constantine Chapter 
founded to guarantee the restoration of the fraternity at the close of the 
war; but in the very midst of hostilities and through the bristling lines, 
the hands of friendship were extended and the vows of mutual affection 
were solemnized anew ; the oath was interchanged that, whatever might 
be the outcome of the struggle, the unity of Sigma Chi should never be 
impaired. At least as early as October, 1864, letters were passing to 
and fro between the lines, and Dixon was suggesting legislation to the 
conventions that were meeting in the North. On January 7 > 1865, he 
reported the condition of the Southern colleges, and preparations were 
made to reestablish the Southern chapters as soon as hostilities should 
cease. But when the smoke of battle cleared at last, La Grange was 
a smouldering ruin, the victim of war’s worst ravages, its buildings in 
ashes and its wealth destroyed; Erskine College was impoverished to 


344 


THE PSI. 


penury, and only the State Universities of Mississippi and Virginia reared 
their war-scarred heads proudly over the desolation. To these institutions 
the fraternity at once directed its attention; but what the bayonet and the 
ball had not accomplished, emancipation and the torch had done. Not 
one of the members of Psi were able to return, and the task of reestablish¬ 
ing the chapter was confided to the Epsilon at Washington. On the 
7th of March, 1866, a member of this chapter wrote: “Our committee 
to the University of Virginia performed its mission and returned with the 
intelligence that, on account of the lateness of the session a successful 
reorganization immediately is impracticable. Although this is the case, 
the committee recovered the archives of the late chapter and met one ot 
the brethren (an alumnus ), who assured them that he would aid the reor¬ 
ganization at the commencement of the next year. The committee are 
far from being discouraged, and hope ultimately to gain their end.” 

November 25, 1866, the chapter was formally reorganized as the Psi. 
Harry S. Dixon, William M. Perkins, George M. Peek, George Perkins, 
Hugh L. Davis and William Ward were members of the chapter at this 
time; and on December 8, 1866, Ward wrote to Theta Chapter : “In my 
official capacity it gives me pleasure to inform you that a chapter of the 
Sigma Chi has been reorganized here by the energy of our esteemed 
Brother Dixon, of Mississippi. I will tell you that our future appears 
bright and encouraging; and we hope to found a chapter worthy of Sigma 
Chi, trusting to do so by the election of none as members but those ot 
undoubted honor and who maintain high standing in their respective 
classes.” Dixon’s own account is as follows : “ Of course the war disor¬ 
ganized the chapter. It ceased to exist until in November, 1866, when I 
returned to the. University as a law student. I had determined before my 
return to reorganize it, and had held correspondence with the Alpha 
(Gamma) Chapter for that purpose. I found no little difficulty in doing so. 
My exceeding poverty forbade any of the many necessary expenditures 
incident upon such an undertaking, and I had no assistance from any quarter* 
Not one of the old members had returned in 1865-6 or 1866-7. If there 
was to be a resurrection of the White Cross, I alone had to do it. I 
‘ pinched ’ myself in all manner of ways to save a little money. I cut off 
my supply of fuel. I wore my shirts for a longer period than I had done 
in the days of abundance, and even apportioned out how much tobacco I 
would use. I did not even have a badge, that necessary symbol of what I 
had power to confer. But, whilst I durst not confess how poor I was, my 
social connections were an advantage. It was not long before I had 
several good fellows to aid me, and right well they did so. By the time 
* Public Day,’ the 4th of July, 1867, had rolled around, I was gratified to 
see within our circle and under the protection of our brotherhood a goodly 
number of members, with whom to leave the prosperity ot the chapter in 


UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. 


345 


charge. The Sigma Chi informs me that my hopes have not been mis¬ 
placed nor my labors done in vain.” 

A recent letter of William M. Perkins, Esq., of Pulaski, Va., furnishes 
an interesting little glimpse of the first step in this reorganization as well as 
of the inner life of the chapter during the year. He says: “ The history 
of Psi Chapter at the University of Virginia ought to state that Harry 
St John Dixon was the life of the chapter there when first reorganized in 
1867 after the war. He was thd sole old member, and he consulted me 
about reorganizing the chapter. He knew that, in 1860-1, I had been 
invited to join the fraternity, and so he asked me to help reorganize it. I 
consented. Solitary and alone, at midnight, in an immense room he 
initiated me. He was so solemn and it looked so ludicrous that I almost 
died laughing, greatly to Dixon’s disgust. However, we organized and 
initiated others and at the end of the session had a fine chapter of 
seventeen members; and the order has been a success there ever since. 
I’d like to see Dixon. He was a typical Mississippian, a kind of knight 
or cavalier,but as kind hearted as a brother and the most enthusiastic Sigma 
Chi I ever saw. There was nothing he would not do for the order. We 
had a celebration at the end of the session—a supper with invited brethren, 
etc. I had been chosen orator, and Dixon had moved that we have a poet. 
It was voted down because there was no poet in the chapter. Dixon 
sighed a deep sigh and moved that we have a poet anyway, and said that if 
no one else would be poet for Sigma Chi, he would turn poet himself, 
although he had never made a rhyme in his life. So we elected him Psi 
poet; and sure enough, at the celebration, Dixon’s poem beat my oration in 
length, originality and applause. I think he was entitled to a patent on 
that poem ; for I am sure there never was and never will be one like it.” 

But Dixon was not the only knight that Psi produced. He himself has 
said : “ I congratulate myself on belonging to an order which produces so 
many noblemen as ours does. I have been in many orders since, as a boy 
of seventeen, I entered the Sigma Chi nearly thirty years ago; and I love 
none as I do this sweetheart of my youth.” The heroism of war pales 
before the sublimer heroism of peace; and in the bitter days of almost univer¬ 
sal poverty the “brotherhood” of Sigma Chi was a genuine reality. How 
many proofs of it there were like that which Dixon loves to tell of Major 
Henry Ewing—“ My blood-brother was no dearer to me than Ewing. 
He was so noble a gentleman of the American type that, after a residence 
of but a few years, a great city mourned his death. He loaned me money to 
take me from under the tyrannies of re- (it should be destruction, not) con¬ 
struction in 1868; and when I offered my mother’s silverware as security he 
refused it and tore up the evidence of indebtedness I gave him, saying: 

‘ Old man, I know that if you ever make this money you will send it to me, 
and I don’t want your note to remind me how you will suffer if you can’t,’ ” 


346 


THE PSI. 


Nor was the noble charity of those days confined to the University of 
Virginia or the South. Dixon was the delegate of Psi to that celebrated 
convention at Washington, in December, 1866, the fraternal unity of which 
cemented our broken columns and excited extended comment in the news¬ 
papers. By every delicate courtesy the Southern members were led to 
know that the war had made and could make no difference in Sigma Chi. 

The fraternity system of the University of Virginia has been charged 
with provincialism and local interest; bfit during these years Sigma Chi 
had few chapters more enthusiastically devoted to the interests of the frater¬ 
nity at large. Much of the legislation of the fraternity has been suggested 
by Mr. H. S. Dixon; and he was the author of the recent revision of the 
fraternity ritual. In 1872 he was elected Grand Historian, and collected a 
great deal of historical material; but the project of publishing at that time 
an extended history of the fraternity was abandoned. Among the frater¬ 
nities of the University, Psi has always held conspicuous rank; and 
her later history has been the record of almost unbroken prosperity, 
leaving little that is unusual to relate. The University of Virginia is a 
unique institution. Its atmosphere and student life are peculiar to itself; 
and there has been no better exponent of its best spirit than the Psi Chapter 
of Sigma Chi. Her members have been the sons of the historic families of 
the South. Her honors have been many, and they have been won in every 
department of University life; and that banquet in 1867 has not been the 
last of her merry-making fun. 

The University has been the home of the following fraternities : Beta 
Theta Pi (1850); Delta Kappa Epsilon (1852); Phi Kappa Sigma (1852); 
Phi Kappa Psi (1853); Kappa Alpha (1857-61); Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
(1858-80) ; Phi Gamma Delta (1859) ; Chi Phi (1859) ; Delta Psi (i860) ; 
Mystic Seven (1867); Kappa Sigma (1867) ; Zeta Psi (1868-82); Chi Psi 
(1868-70) ; Pi Kappa Alpha (1868) ; Alpha Tau Omega (1868) ; Sigma Nu 
(1870); Theta Delta Chi (1872-7); (Southern) Kappa Alpha (1873) i Phi 
Delta Theta (1873); Kappa Sigma Kappa (1878).

Governor French, of Illinois, in 1851, signed the charter under which this institution 
was organized. The original intention was to locate it in Chicago, and the northeast corner 
of La Salle and Jackson streets was purchased for that purpose. It was shortly afterwards 
thought best to fix the location in the suburbs ; and in 1853 three hundred and eighty acres 
of land, lying twelve miles north of the city on the shore of Lake Michigan, was purchased 
for $25,000. Reserving thirty acres for the University, the remainder, together with adjoin¬ 
ing lands, was laid out into town lots, and the town was named Evanston, in honor of Hon. 
John Evans, one of the original and most enthusiastic of the Trustees of the University. 
The building up of a suburban town was successful, and the increase in value of the lots was 
rapid. The original site in the city was held, and is still the property of the University; and 
upon it stands a portion of the Grand Pacific Hotel—yielding an annual rental of $8,000, the 
price originally paid for the land. The proceeds of the lots sold at Evanston from time to 
time, were used to meet current expenses and to erect needed buildings, all of which are sub¬ 
stantial structures and well adapted to their varied uses. University Hall is a sightly struc¬ 
ture of cut stone, Gothic in style of architecture, with tall and graceful spire, and contains 
chapel, library, museum and recitation rooms. Its cost was $120,000. The Hall of Science 
has but recently been completed. It is the gift of one who withholds his name from the 
public. It cost $45,000 and is in keeping with its surroundings. It is built of stone and 
pressed brick and has a frontage of 130 feet with two wings, each 54 by 38 feet. It is 
admirably adapted to its use. 

In 1869 the Chicago Medical College was added to the University. In 1873 the Evans¬ 
ton College for Ladies was absorbed, and co-education under wisely guarded regulations was 
inaugurated. The same year the Union College of Law became its Law Department, and 
in 1874 the Conservatory of Music was founded. In 1888 the Illinois College of Pharmacy 
was gathered into the fold ; and, continuing her conquests, in 1889 the University spread her 
protection over the Chicago College of Dental and Oral Surgery and the Dearborn Observ¬ 
atory. The Observatory building has been erected at Evanston. Its equatorial refracting 
telescope, twenty-three feet in length, until recently was the largest in the world, the aper¬ 
ture of the object-glass being i8j4 inches. , 

The Colleges of Medicine, of Pharmacy, of Dental and Oral Surgery, and of Law, are 
located in the city of Chicagq. A number of these Colleges, in point of age, outrank the 
College of Liberal Arts. This latter opened for students on November 5, 1855. It sent 
forth its first graduates in 1859, fi ye i* 1 number. The graduates from the University proper, 
at Evanston, number now about 500. The catalogue for 1887-8 shows 236 under-graduates 
in the College of Liberal Arts ; 159 students of Medicine ; 128 in the College of Pharmacy ; 
148 in the College of Dental and Oral Surgery; 434 in the Preparatory Department, and 
236 in the Conservatory of Music—in all, omitting names repeated, 1,199. The cor P s °f 
professors, instructors and lecturers is extended and embraces many well-known names. The 
University has a large income from tuition and incidental fees. Its real estate is estimated 
to be worth from one to two millions of dollars. The library contains about 26,000 volumes. 
The college campus is a most delightful spot, stretching its thirty acres along the pebbly 
shore of the lake. The part set aside for athletic sports is considered to be the equal of any 
in the land. The University is under the control, and receives the support, of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church. Its present chief executive officer is Rev. Joseph Cummings, D.D., 
LL.D. He took the Presidency in 1881, and has shown marked ability in its administration.

THE OMEGA. 


THE OMEGA. 


Omega Chapter was founded in 1869. The influences which led to its 
origin, and which afterward had considerable effect upon its character, 
came very directly from Delaware, Ohio, where the Parent Chapter was in 
its palmiest days and by far the strongest Greek-letter fraternity. Among 
those who have come to Northwestern from under the influence of the 
Gamma, were Lorin C. Collins, Jr., ’72, Edward L. Stewart, ’79, Dexter P. 
Donelson, ’79, and William H. Harris, ’78, On coming to Evanston, as a 
freshman, Judge Collins found no chapter of his favorite fraternity, of 
which at Delaware he had formed a high opinion ; and, rather than join 
one of those already in the Northwestern, he endeavored to secure a chap- 
> ter of Sigma Chi. The old method of prolonged correspondence neces¬ 
sary to obtain a charter, kept the little band of petitioners, which had 
been drawn together, so long in suspense, that it was found difficult to pre¬ 
vent some defection into the ranks of established fraternities at the Univer¬ 
sity. More perfectly to forestall this tendency, advantage was taken of a 
favorable offer from the Kappa Phi Lambda fraternity (now defunct), from 
which a charter was conditionally accepted; and without formal initiation, 
or, at least, with little or no ceremony, the names of the waiting members 
were enrolled, and they appeared with K A> A badges, which were borrowed 
for the purpose from a chapter at Monmouth. The following were the 
members of this trand, which shortly became the charter membership ot 
Omega Chapter : Lorin C. Collins, Jr., Ellery H. Beal, Clarence R. Pajil, 
J. Frank Robinson, Albert D. Langworthy, Merritt C. Bragdon, William H. 
Sparling, and George Lunt. Meanwhile, correspondence with Sigma Chi 
acquaintances and chapters was maintained; the desired charter was 
finally granted on June 23, 1869 ; and the chapter was promptly instituted 
by Edgar L. Wakeman, of the Lambda. 

During the following year the chapter flourished, and was recognized 
by students and faculty as the leading Greek organization of the institution. 
The greatest care was exercised in cbfoosing new members, so that an 
undoubted reputation for selectness was attached to Omega from the very 
first. Prosperity was unabated until the year 1872, when, by the loss of all 
the charter members by graduation, the remaining members became dis¬ 
heartened and the chapter dormant. But the Spring of 1873 saw the old 
members rallying, to its support, and the chapter was once again upon the 
flood-tide of prosperity. This continued for many years ; but as the chap¬ 
ter was the farthest in the West, its interests became largely centered in

local affairs. Communication with other chapters was also very desultory ; 
and seldom did a Sigma Chi badge greet the eyes of the members, which 
was not worn by one of their own number. Such were the circumstances 
of which, in the Spring of 1875, advantage was sought to be taken to carry 
the Omega over into the Psi Upsilon fraternity. The movement, which has 
been fully described in “ The History of Omega,”* had its origin with the 
President of the University and several Psi Upsilon professors, and re¬ 
ceived the earnest advocacy of the governing council of that fraternity; 
but they were unsuccessful. The chapter flourished until the Fall term of 
1881, when, by reason of the graduation of three members the previous June, 
and the departure of others to different institutions, the membership was 
greatly reduced. There were but few additions during the year ; and when 
the college year opened again in 1882, only two members were on the 
ground. These two, however, were equal to the emergency, and, assisted 
by Frank T.’Andrews and Mason Bross, who retained their full active 
membership for several years after leaving college, the chapter was able to 
report itself in very fair condition when the Biennial Convention met at 
Chicago, in November of that year. This convention was .royally enter¬ 
tained by the members of Omega, and proved to be one of the most impor¬ 
tant, as well as one of the most successful sessions the Grand Chapter has 
ever held. The old form of government was first materially modified by 
this convention ; and George P. Merrick, of Omega, was elected Grand 
Quaestor under the new administration. From that time the chapter has 
taken a place of unusual prominence in the councils of the fraternity. 

In January, 1884, the Omega entertained at Evanston the District Con¬ 
vention of the Northwestern chapters, which was so influential in -shaping 
the legislation of the next Grand Chapter. When the present system of 
fraternity government was adopted, in 1884, the three members of the 
central committee of the Grand Council, — the Grand Triumvirs,— were 
elected from the alumni of Omega. Since that time, at least two of the 
Grand Triumvirs have been members of Omega ; and Frank M. Elliot, 
whose name has long been a household word with Omega and with Sigma 
Chi, is now the Grand Consul of the fraternity. In 1885, Mr. Elliot edited 
and published in handsome form “ The History of Omega,” to which refer¬ 
ence has already been made. As the first extended history of a fraternity 
chapter ever published, this book excited much comment and reflected 
great credit upon the fraternity. It has not yet been equalled by any other 
similar publication, either in contents or in appearance. Charles A. 
Wightman, of Omega, was elected Grand Historian of the fraternity in 
1884, a position which he has since held. To him the fraternity owes not

THE OMEGA. 


only the preparation of the preliminary manuscript for the present edition 
of the Catalogue, involving, as it did, the enormous labor of himself and 
of his chapter friends, but also many of the most valuable features of its 
historical work. In the actual publication of the Catalogue, Frank T. 
Andrews and Mason Bross, of Omega, have been the most active and 
invaluable assistants of its editors. The Omega has failed to have a repre¬ 
sentative from her own membership at but one session of the Grand Chap¬ 
ter since 1869 ; and that was the session of 1872, during the temporary 
disorganization of the chapter. At least three of the chapters of Sigma 
Chi, the Alpha Iota, the Alpha Lambda and the Alpha Upsilon, owe their 
existence to the Evanston chapter, and the Epsilon Epsilon was instituted 
by,a delegation from Omega. 

Throughout its history the Omega has taken an active part in the life 
of the University. It can truly be said that the men of Omega have left 
their individual impress upon nearly every event of any importance that 
has occurred during its history. They have always been at the front in 
maintaining the oratorical contests, the lecture courses, the base ball asso¬ 
ciations, the boat club, the museum, and in every field of undergraduate 
activity. To the members of Omega is fairly due the construction of 
the University Gymnasium, the bowling alleys in which were built and 
donated by Sigma Chi alone. A liberal share of college prizes and honors 
have fallen to Omega. Both in the class-room and on the rostrum her 
success has been worthy of more extended comment than can here be 
given. In the personal character of its individual members the chapter 
aims to attain a high ideal, and its future seems in every way secure. “ The 
men of this fraternity who have graduated from this institution, are the men 
to whom we point with pride as specimens,” was the remark of President 
Cummings to the delegates of the Fourteenth Convention on their visit to 
Northwestern. 

Since 1886, Omega Chapter has followed the plan of chapter-house life, 
which the strongest fraternities in all the leading institutions have found 
the best practical system. To Sigma Chi belongs the credit of having 
organized the first, and, thus far, the only chapter-house at Northwestern 
University. The faculty and President, appreciating the fact that this was 
a step forward in University life and that it tended to add to the reputation 
of the institution as well as of the fraternity, have given it every assistance 
and encouragement. Up to the present time the chapter has been content 
with a private residence for its home, the members sharing its comforts in 
common, sometimes using it for dormitory and lodge or club purposes 
only, and sometimes supplying their own table accommodations as well. 
So well has the plan succeeded that a great increase in enthusiasm and a 
corresponding increase in membership has resulted, so that now (1889) the 
chapter is in a state of prosperity seldom surpassed in the flush times of

the University. Meantime the fund of the Chapter-house Association, which 
was chartered by the State in 1884, is growing; and in a few years Omega 
will occupy as handsome and convenient a chapter-house as any college 
fraternity in any college, and will be the owner thereof without debt or 
incumbrance. Of late years Omega has been undeniably prosperous, as 
compared with the period from 1882 to 1885, when the University itself 
was at a low ebb. The rising value of its investments has placed North¬ 
western upon a very firm basis financially, with its two millions or more of 
choice Chicago real estate for an endowment; and Omega has needed only 
the influx of that new and better class of students now coming to the insti¬ 
tution to make it not only the strongest fraternity chapter locally, but one 
of the strongest in the Sigma Chi fraternity. 

Phi Delta Theta (1859-61 and 1886); Phi Kappa Psi (1864); Phi 
Gamma Delta (1865-6); Phi Kappa Sigma (1872); Beta Theta Pi (1873) ; 
Delta Upsilon (1880); Alpha Phi (1881); Delta Gamma (1882); Kappa 
Kappa Gamma (1882) and Kappa Alpha Theta (1887), have established 
chapters at Northwestern.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. 


This college is located at Clinton, Mississippi, a small town ten miles west of Jackson and 
thirty-five east of Vicksburg. In the early history of the State it was the place of residence of a 
number of leading men ; and, desiring educational facilities at their home, they established the 
College. It was chartered in 1830. At first it was non-sectarian, being under the control of 
a Board of Management nominated by the citizens. Finding it difficult to meet its financial 
needs, and hoping to draw to its support a larger constituency, it was, in 1842, placed under 
the care of the Presbyterian denomination. The Presbyterians had control of it for eight 
years, when they found it difficult to secure the means to meet its annual expenses, and . 
returned it to its former owners. The people of Clinton, in 1850, offered it, with its 
buildings, grounds, and franchises, to the Baptists of the State. The Baptists had been 
preparing to open a school for higher education, and at once accepted the responsibility 
of operating the College. With earnestness they set forward to secure it against its greatest 
drawback—want of financial support. Agents were placed in the field ; $100,000 was secured; 
pledges amounting to $30,000 were made ; a new building was erected, and the number of 
students increased to over two hundred. For over ten years it made steady progress. Then 
came the war. Some of the professors and most of the students enlisted in the army, and 
college work was suspended. When the war was ended the endowment was gone, and only 
the buildings remained, with a debt incurred in maintaining them. The school was reopened 
under most unfavorable circumstances; but gradually the buildings were repaired, the 
apparatus replenished and the debt paid. 

In 1872 another effort was made to secure an endowment. Prof. M. T. Martin was 
sent forth to solicit subscriptions, and succeeded in securing some $50,000, payable in 
annual installments, but only a small portion of this amount was paid. In 1875 the College 
was indebted to its faculty to a considerable amount, and had no means with which to pay 
its obligations. The faculty agreed to lessen Iheir number by one, and with a diminished 
force to do the full amount of work. They have since that time divided the net receipts 
among themselves yearly, and receipted for their salaries whether they received them in full 
or not. Whatever else may be said of this plan of operation, it avoids indebtedness. One 
thing is set against another in such a condition of things. It showed to the Baptist people 
of the State a spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of their teachers, and called forth from 
their churches very generally regular collections for the College. It also resulted in giving 
the College the sympathy of the people before whom its claims were thus regularly presented, 
and in the end had much to do in increasing the number of its students and consequently 
the income from tuition fees. As a result, year by year the influence.of the College has 
extended. Its students, as shown by the catalogue for 1887-88, numbered 230. It has no 
prescribed curriculum. Graduation depends upon attainments. It has seven Schools, viz.: 
Mental and Moral Science, Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, English and 
Modern Languages. There is also a Commercial School, a Military School and a Preparatory 
Department. The degree of A.B. is conferred upon all who attain proficiency in the first 
six Schools above named. The degrees of B.S. and B.L. are also conferred upon those 
completing the required Schools.

THE BETA BETA. 


THE BET/\ BETA. 


The Beta Beta Chapter of Sigma Chi was established at Mississippi 
College during the Summer of 1873, through the instrumentality of William 
E. Quin, of Eta, who had already been associated with the founding of the 
Pi at Howard College. A petition had been presented to the fraternity 
through Quin in 1871, under date of April 12 ; but the discussion over the 
prospects of the College, which was then making vigorous and apparently 
successful efforts to secure a handsome endowment, delayed the vote of the 
chapters; and it was not until June 19, 1873, that the Beta Beta was estab¬ 
lished. On that night, in the “Lower Chapel” of Mississippi College, the 
chapter was instituted, and the following charter members were enrolled : 
William E. Quin, Edward T. Bramlett, Hosea W. Rockett, Thomas Black, 
James A. Hill, Lafayette J. Boothe, Charles W. Webb, Theodore N. Rhymes, 
John H. Eager, Jacob G. Collins, and Charles B. Freeman. The chapter 
secured a splendid membership and was remarkably prosperous and suc¬ 
cessful; but its career was destined to a sudden termination. In 1874 the 
faculty absolutely prohibited the further existence of all secret organiza¬ 
tions in the institution, and enforced the rule with such vigor that the chap¬ 
ter returned its papers to the Gamma and was forced to disband. 

Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1871-5) was its only rival, although Phi Kappa 
Psi had a brief existence at Mississippi College in 1860-1.

RANbOLPH-MACON COLLEGE. 


This is the oldest Methodist college in America. After the failure of the first attempt 
to found a college in Maryland, collegiate educational work slumbered among the Methodists 
for a quarter of a century. The Virginia Conference then took it up, and from 1825 to 1830 
agitated the question of establishing “a seminary of learning under its own regulations 
and patronage.” It resulted in the incorporation of Randolph-Macon College in 1830, and 
in its location near Boydton, in the County of Mecklinburg, Virginia. It was named after 
John Randolph, of Roanoke, Virginia, and Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina. It has 
been said by a devoted friend of the College, as to the name, that if it was given to avoid a 
denominational name, or in the hope of securing large donations from these distinguished 
gentlemen, in the former case it was a blunder, and in the latter a disappointment. No 
donations were received from either. 

The college buildings were completed, and the institution was formally opened in 1832. 
Rev. Stephen Olin, D.D., was placed at its head, assisted by three professors. The number 
of students was not large, but it continued to increase each year. In 1835 it sent forth its 
first alumnus, John C. Blackwell. For a number of years following, the classes of graduates 
increased in size, and efforts were made, which were partially successful, to secure a moderate 
endowment. After five years of service Dr. Olin resigned the Presidency. Landon G. Garland, 
A. M., and Rev. William Capers, D.D., successively followed. In 1846 Rev. William A. 
Smith, D.D., became President; and under his administration freshman, sophomore, junior 
and senior were terms not used to classify the students ; the old regular college curriculum 
was practically abandoned, and the student’s studies were determined by the length of time 
he could give to college life, his intended vocation and similar considerations. About this 
time other institutions began to spring up and make inroads upon its patronage. Emory 
College, in Georgia, Wofford College, in South Carolina, Trinity College, in North Carolina, 
and Emory and Henry College, in Southwestern Virginia, all drew from its support. Never¬ 
theless, the College was fairly sustained until the war. Then the students thinned out, and 
finally the institution suspended. At the close of the war the endowment was gone, the 
buildings were out of repair, the libraries had suffered loss, and the outlook was without 
promise of better things to come. An earnest effort, however, was made to retrieve the 
losses. It failed. Apparently the College was dead. The location was against it. In 1868 
it was resolved to remove it to Ashland, seventeen miles north from Richmond. This was 
done, and the Baltimore Conference thereafter gave its support and patronage. Rev. James 
A. Duncan, D.D., became its President. He was popular and energetic. He had well 
qualified assistants in the professors newly elected ; and the tide of prosperity poured in on 
the College. He died in office in 1877. Rev. W. W. Bennett, D.D., was his successor. He 
made heroic efforts to relieve its pressing financial embarrassments and to perpetuate its 
usefulness. Since 1886 Rev. William W. Smith, A.M., has been President. The roll of 
students contains 165 names. 

There are many reasons why Randolph-Macon should now succeed. It is centrally 
located. Its endowment funds have been considerably increased. Its debt has been very 
largely reduced. The collections for educational work by the Baltimore and Virginia Con¬ 
ferences are much larger, and the corps of professors is as full and able as at any time in its 
history. It is deserving of the full support of the Methodist Church in Maryland and Vir¬ 
ginia ; and should it receive its entire patronage, its usefulness would be largely augmented, 
and the number of its students would be multiplied many times.

THE GAMMA GAMMA. 


THE GAMMA GAMMA. 


In the Fall of 1873 a correspondence was opened between Isaac Van 
Meter Scott (formerly of Zeta Chapter), then a member of the Sigma Sigma 
Chapter at Hampden-Sidney College, and a college friend who was then 
a student of Randolph-Macon College, with regard to establishing a chapter 
of the Sigma Chi fraternity at the last mentioned college. The result of 
the correspondence was a petition signed by Henry W. Lilly, William B. 
Barham, Walter G. Norman, John W. May and Robert E. Carr, which was 
sent to the Parent Chapter, and, being heartily endorsed by Sigma Sigma, 
it was granted by the fraternity. The delay in establishing the chapter 
was caused by the fact that, about the same time, there was another petition 
sent in to Sigma Chi from Randolph-Macon, which caused some confusion 
in voting. While the two petitions were under the consideration of the 
fraternity, the signers of the second disbanded, and the names of W. B. 
Barham and R. E. Carr were added to the first. I. V. Scott and W. E. Cave, 
whose names appear in the previous edition of the Catalogue as charter 
members of Gamma Gamma, were not connected with Randolph-Macon 
as students, but were merely endorsers of the petition. The charter of 
Gamma Gamma was actually issued on March 7, 1874; and the ceremonies 
of initiation were conducted on March 14, by Scott and Cave, of Hampden- 
Sidney College, assisted (so John W. May writes, 1885) by William L. Ould, 
of Richmond, an alumnus of Sigma Sigma. The chapter letters chosen 
were Phi Phi, and the chapter went by this name for some weeks; but as 
this title conflicted with that of the Philadelphia chapter, it was changed to 
Gamma Gamma. 

Gamma Gamma, ever since her foundation, has occupied a foremost 
place among the Southern chapters of Sigma Chi and in the conventions 
of the fraternity. It was to some degree under her auspices that the tem¬ 
porary organization at Richmond College (Va.), which was chartered as the 
Alpha Beta, was founded. At the Indianapolis Convention of 1878, the 
publication of an annual supplementary catalogue was placed in the hands 
of Zeta and Gamma Gamma Chapters. A great deal of material for the 
work was collected; but the financial support being insufficient to warrant 
the publication of the book, no further action was taken. Gamma Gam¬ 
ma’s representative at the Chicago Convention of 1882, was elected Grand 
Annotator of the fraternity, which office was held until the Cincinnati Con¬ 
vention of 1884; and in 1886 Richard H. Bennett was chosen Grand Prae¬ 
tor of the Second Province. In 1889, Mr. Bennett was sent as the represen¬ 
tative of the Grand Council to investigate the petition from the University

of North Carolina; and, his report having led to the granting of a charter, 
Frank Talbott and Robert E. Carr, of Gamma Gamma, were selected to 
institute the Alpha Tau. 

Gamma Gamma has always been especially noted for the very warm 
regard which her members entertain for the fraternity and for each other. 
This has been so noticeable, that she has been pointed out by the other 
fraternities at Ashland as a model in this respect. The most cordial and 
complete congeniality has ever existed between her members, and this has 
been the foremost requisite in her selection of men. Mindful of the high 
aim of the founders of the fraternity, she ever strives to conform to that 
standard of manhood which is noblest and best; and it has been truly said 
that “ her reputation has indeed always sustained the high hopes, wise fore¬ 
thought and conservatism of her projectors.” Her three qualifications are 
morality, scholarship and congeniality. What these qualities have enabled 
her to accomplish at Randolph-Macon, is shown by the records of her mem¬ 
bers. She asks only that her future may be as bright as her past and present. 

Sigma Chi meets at Randolph-Macon chapters of (Southern) Kappa 
Alpha (1869); Phi Kappa Sigma (1873) > Beta Theta Pi (1873); Phi Delta 
Theta (1874); and Kappa Sigma Kappa (1881). Phi Kappa Psi (1871-81) 
and Delta Psi (1853-61), have also had chapters here.

puftDUE University. 



This institution is located one mile west of the city of Lafayette, Indiana. It stands 
upon high ground and overlooks the city and the valley of the Wabash. In 1869 John Purdue 
made a donation of $50,000 towards its founding, and gave the best thought of his last years 
to its upbuilding. After him it was named. It is, when accurately described, a College of 
Science, Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. Similar institutions are usually termed Institutes 
of Technology. Its purpose is to afford technical instruction in those subjects that enter 
into the practical industries of life. It has five Schools, viz., of Agriculture and Horticulture, 
of Mechanics and Engineering, of Science, of Industrial Art, and of Pharmacy. The 
courses of the first four include about the same instruction in Science, Mechanics, English, 
History, and Drawing. Besides these studies common to the four Schools, each one has its 
special studies on the line of its especial work. The School of Agriculture and Horticulture 
carries on investigations in the laboratory and in the field throughout the four years. The 
School of Mechanics and Engineering gives two years to practical Mechanics and two to 
Mechanical Engineering. The well equipped Chemical and Physical Laboratories give 
practical work in the natural and physical sciences. The course in the School of Industrial 
Art covers four years ; and instruction in outline, color, shade, perspective, and orthographic 
projection, is followed with designing of patterns, architectural drawing and other applica¬ 
tions to practice. The School of Pharmacy gives facilities in acquiring a knowledge of 
Chemistry, Pharmacy, Materia Medica, Botany, etc., with laboratory practice during the 
last two years. 

Throughout eve-ry department theory and practice go hand in hand. The forenoon finds 
the student in the recitation and lecture rooms, and the afternoon at work in the laboratories 
or shops. Each student averages daily three hours of class-work and two to four of laboratory 
practice. Greek and Latin are not taught in the University. In most of the leading schools 
of a similar character these languages are taught, but are elective. 

The University is the Scientific College of the State. It seeks to graduate its students 
into the practical productive industries. They are to become mechanical engineers, archi¬ 
tects, chemists, agriculturists, horticulturists, stock raisers, draughtsmen, builders, master 
mechanics, pharmacists, and workers in various forms of industrial art. 

It was endowed by Congress in the sum of $340,000 ; and individual donations amount¬ 
ing to $358,000, have been expended in lands, buildings and equipment. There are six large 
buildings, besides other small ones. The University Hall contains chapel, society halls, 
museums, library and recitation rooms. The Chemical and Physical Laboratory Hall, Agri¬ 
cultural Hall, and Mechanics Hall, are all planned with reference to the use of modern 
methods of instruction and work. The annual income is about $50,000. The State makes 
annual appropriations to supplement the income from its endowment \ and the tuition is free. 
The University was opened for students in 1875, and had an attendance the first year, in all 
its Schools, of 64 students. The number increased each following year until 1881, when the 
number was 254. The next three years the number was slightly less; but with 1885 the 
upward course again began, and in 1887 the number reached 394 * The first graduate went 
forth in 1875. The alumni number about one hundred. Co-education prevails in all depart¬ 
ments. The corps of Professors and Instructors numbers about 25. The President is James 
H. Smart, LL.D. He is eminently successful in that position. It may safely be said that 
the University is growing in public favor—that it is meeting an increasing demand for techno¬ 
logical and industrial education—that its work is improving in character year by year, and 
that its standard of required attainment is being continually raised.

THE DELTA DELTA. 


the Delta Delta. 


In the Summer of 1874 three young men, members of Rho Chapter of 
the Sigma Chi fraternity, were reclining beneath the shade of the campus 
trees at the Northwestern Christian University of Indianapolis, Ind., now 
Butler University. In the course of a desultory conversation, John B. 
Harper, one of the trio, mentioned the fact of his intention to study at Pur¬ 
due University during the following year ; and it was then agreed that if upon 
proper investigation he found good prospects and proper material, Rho 
should assist in the establishment of a chapter at this new and promising 
institution. When the college year opened, Harper and a fast friend, Mr. 
A. W. Hatch, who had been invited to join the fraternity at Butler, were 
among the matriculates. After satisfying himself that sufficient material 
of good quality was to be found, Harper approached Mr. Hatch and Mr. 
Jesse H. Blair. Both entered heartily into the scheme of establishing a 
chapter, and others were also spoken to. About ten days after the matter 
was first agitated a meeting was held in Hatch’s room, where the project 
was thoroughly discussed ; and shortly thereafter a petition was drawn up 
and sent to the Parent Chapter at Ohio Wesleyan University. The names, 
as they appeared on the petition, were John B. Harper, Charles J. 
Bohrer, Franklin P. Clark, Worth Reed, Jesse H. Blair, Aretus W. Hatch, 
John C. Vanatta and George A. Jamison. It was thought that six weeks 
would probably elapse before the result would be learned, but before long 
word was received that the granting of the charter was meeting with 
opposition. This was a surprise to the petitioners ; and their surprise was 
greatly increased upon discovering that Rho, instead of assisting, was 
actively working to defeat the admission of Purdue. It was at this time 
that the incipient Delta Delta evinced some of the characteristics for which 
she has since become famous, and decided to fight. Kappa and Chi had 
also been influenced against Purdue and proved even more powerful in 
opposition than Rho. The idea prevailed that Purdue was purely an indus¬ 
trial college ; and all of the Eastern chapters voted “no.” 

A meeting was held in the room of Hatch on the evening of Friday, 
the 21st of November, 1874; and on Saturday morning Harper started for 
Greencastle. Upon his arrival there he met and interviewed the members 
of Xi, explained the situation, painted a bright future for the University 
and asked their aid in assisting the petition. This promise Xi gave and 
most royally kept. Through her Lambda became interested, and both went 
actively to work. Hon, U. Z. Wiley, one of the staunchest friends of Pur-

due, offered his assistance ; and as a result, in March of 1875, the welcome 
and long looked for news was received that the petition had been granted. 
The charter, dated March 1, 1875, was received near the close of the 
month ; and John S. McMillan, of Xi, since Grand Consul of the fraternity, 
came to Lafayette from Greencastle on Saturday of the last week in that 
month. A room was engaged at the St. Nicholas Hotel; and that afternoon, 
the initiates with the exception of John Vanatta, who was absent, were 
introduced into the mysteries of Sigma Chi. Those present, besides the 
initiates and McMillan, were W. B. McMillan, A. S. Embree and J. Quincy 
Smith, all of Xi. 

The first year passed with no event of note. No fraternity jewelry was 
worn, and it was not generally known that a chapter had been organized. 
The meetings were held in various rooms of the boys, or at the homes of 
those brothers who lived in the adjoining town of Chauncey, until the 
trouble with President White began, when all regular meetings were aban¬ 
doned. Delta Delta seems to have had a peculiar proclivity for unseating 
obnoxious presidents, two in succession having tumbled from their thrones. 
The first, President Shortridge, having become odious in many ways, the 
boys by a petition to the Trustees, supported by affidavits, brought such 
force to bear upon the Board that Mr. Shortridge was requested to resign. 
After his departure the prospect before Delta Delta was very bright. A 
chapter house was proposed to be built on a lot adjoining the campus, and 
the idea was about to be acted upon. Rapid advancement and successful 
work seemed assured. But the peaceful days ended very abruptly, as in 
1877 the oppression and opposition of President White began; and from 
that time for six long years there was no cessation of the efforts to crush 
out the life of the chapter. It would require a volume to relate in detail 
this celebrated fraternity fight. The matter is fully discussed in the various 
issues of the fraternity magazine during its first three volumes; and a partial 
statement of its legal aspects is given in the closing pages of Baird’s manual 
of “American College Fraternities,” edition of 1883. 

“ The Purdue Case ” has passed into history as the greatest contest 
ever made on behalf of the fraternity system. For six years it engaged the 
members of Sigma Chi in a bitter struggle, growing constantly in intensity 
and public interest to its close. It first settled the legal rights of the college 
fraternity; it involved the educational circles and the public press of the 
whole country in the discussion of the merits of the Greek-letter societies; 
it became a prominent political issue ; it unseated a college president; it 
involved the policy and the existence of a university, and it effectually 
demonstrated the powerful influence of the college secret society. The con¬ 
test dates from the opening of college at Purdue in September, 1877, when 
it was announced by President E. E. White, that all applicants for admission 
to the University must sign a pledge “ not to join or belong to any so called

Greek society,” as a condition of matriculation. This pledge was subse¬ 
quently augmented so as to cover all anticipated evasions ; and the frater¬ 
nities were to be rigidly excluded after the departure of those who were 
already active members of the Delta Delta. However, as no interference 
with the actual membership was attempted, the chapter had plenty of time 
to lay its plans for self-preservation. Its first efforts were directed to 
influencing the selection of the successors of the existing Board of Trus¬ 
tees ; but in this it was unsuccessful, and a majority of the Board sustained 
the President’s action. 

Consultations of prominent members of the fraternity were then held; 
and it was finally decided to test the legality of such a regulation against 
the Greek-letter societies. Thomas P. Hawley, already a member of Sigma 
Chi, applied for admission to the University, and was required to sign a 
pledge that he would discontinue all active connection with the fraternity 
while a student at Purdue. This he declined to sign, and was refused 
admission. His guardian, Mr. Samuel T. Stallard, at once applied to the 
Circuit Court for a mandamus to compel the President to admit Hawley. 
After a spirited trial the case in the lower court was won by President 
White, but was at once carried to the Supreme Court of Indiana. Here it 
was ably argued by Hon. J. R. Coffroth, Hon. J. S. McMillan, Wilbur F. 
Severson and others, for the fraternity ; and a decision was rendered on 
the 21st of June, 1882, reversing the decision of the lower tribunal. The 
opinion of the Supreme Court, to which there was but one dissenting voice, 
exhaustively reviewed the legal questions involved, and held that “ there 
was no impropriety in either becoming a member of or being otherwise 
connected with the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and that the objections seemingly 
entertained by the faculty against that and other fraternities of the same 
class, were not well founded,” and that the pledge was “ both ulta vires and 
palpably unreasonable, and hence inoperative and void.” The Trustees 
filed a petition for a rehearing, which was promptly overruled ; and in the 
supplementary decision then filed the Supreme Court said : “ Such unusual 
and exceptional pledges are not only unlawful in their spirit and applica¬ 
tion, but are unreasonable and productive of irritative legislation and gen¬ 
erally of injurious consequences to the institution attempting to enforce 
them.” 

This decision is a land-mark in the history of the college fraternity 
system, and was received all over the country as a glorious victory for the 
Greeks. But so bitter had the controversy become, that President White 
refused to abandon the fight, and sought by altering the college rules to 
accomplish his purpose. His annual report to the Governor was largely 
devoted to an attack on the fraternities and a bitter denunciation of Sigma 
Chi. It was at this stage that the fraternity became genuinely exasperated, 
and war was declared in earnest. A systematic campaign was immediately

organized, and the State Legislature became the arena of battle. The 
result was the overwhelming triumph of the fraternity. A condition was 
attached to the annual appropriation bill requiring the faculty to repeal all 
anti-fraternity legislation before a dollar of the fund could be drawn for 
the running expenses of the institution. President White resigned, and 
Hon. James H. Smart, a member of Xi Chapter of Sigma Chi, was elected 
to the vacancy, which he continues to fill with marked ability and success. 

During the period covered by this fight, the chapter naturally found 
methods of evading the rules; and President White was endeavoring in 
every manner possible to ferret out and expel those suspected of belonging 
to the fraternity. He had spies constantly on watch, and at one time five 
members of the chapter were expelled or suspended upon trumped up 
charges, leaving but one member, James Waugh, in the University. Initia¬ 
tions took place in private rooms, lawyers’ offices (and once in a little shanty 
justice’s office in Chauncey, with one tallow candle for light), at all hours 
of the night and under the most varied circumstances. There had been 
but one literary society in the college. The Sigmas broke away from this 
and formed another, which they made a fraternity organization. This 
society also met with faculty opposition, and at one time was reduced to 
four men, but now occupies one of the handsomest halls in the college and 
contains the most energetic and popular men in the University. 

President Smart assumed the position at the head of the institution at 
the beginning of the college year of 1883-4. The Board of Trustees had 
taken no action in regard to the anti-fraternity rules; and Dr. Smart was 
anxious to allay the animosities that had been created. In his efforts to 
reunite the friends of the University, the members of Sigma Chi all over the 
State were in hearty accord ; and upon his request it was decided to continue 
the chapter as closely sub rosa as before. The whole influence of the frater¬ 
nity was thrown in favor of the University, and the result has since been seen 
in the increased appropriations from the State. The only demonstration 
made by the chapter occurred in the Fall of 1884, when it was learned that 
Hon. James H. Willard, a member of Alpha Delta Phi, who had been a 
conspicuous advocate of the fraternity in the State Legislature, would soon 
pay a visit to the city. A banquet in his honor was proposed, and was 
subsequently given at the Lahr House in Lafayette. Alumni members from 
a distance were in attendance ; and Judge Coffroth presided over a brilliant 
and successful event. Advantage was taken of the opportunity to pledge 
to the University the support and friendship of the fraternity; and the 
influence of the meeting was to hasten the narrowing of the breach. 

As the Commencement of 1885 approached, the chapter began to get 
impatient for the final action of the Board. Believing the victory really won, 
the members concluded to hold a reunion, and letters were written to that 
effect to all alumni brothers. As a result about twenty-five members gathered 
27

around the board after the President’s levee, among them being four of the 
charter members of the chapter. After a generous repast, toasts were called 
for, and the lively speeches were frequently interrupted by chapter songs, in 
the rendition of which if there was not much music there was plenty of spirit. 
When the college year of 1885-6 opened the boys called on various mem¬ 
bers of the faculty and insisted that immediate action be taken. As a 
result the Trustees gave full power to act to the faculty. On the morning 
of September 30, President Smart announced in chapel that the petition of 
the fraternity had been granted ; and at last after so long a time, Sigma Chi 
was publicly recognized at Purdue. The members of the chapter, three 
from the senior and three from the junior class, assisted by four alumni 
members in Lafayette, began a correspondence with the alumni members 
of other places regarding the furnishing of a hall; and the result appears 
in a pleasant suite of three rooms but half a block removed from the 
Court House, appropriately furnished and a most cozy place for fraternal 
gatherings. 

Altogether, Delta Delta is settled and settled to stay, and well does she 
deserve a period of rest and tranquility after so many years of tempestuous 
tossing. But her very trials have bound her members more firmly together 
and have increased the warmth of her attachment for the fraternity at 
large. Locally she has practically had the field of honor to herself; and her 
men have been the choicest students of the institution; while her activity 
in the work of the fraternity has twice been recognized by the selection of 
the Grand Praetor of the Fourth Province from her ranks. Sigma Chi has 
had but one rival at Purdue, the Kappa Sigma, established in 1885.

WABASH COLLEGE. 


In 1827 Rev. James Thompson, a graduate of Miami University, began his minis¬ 
try in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He had his heart set on founding a college in the 
Wabash valley. On the 21st of November, 1832, he, with eight others, three being Presby¬ 
terian ministers, three Presbyterian elders, and the other a devout layman, came together to 
consider the expediency of founding a college. They met at Rev. Mr. Thompson’s house, 
and resolved that it was “ expedient to attempt the establishment of a literary institution at 
Crawfordsville.” Hon. Williamson Dunn, of Hanover, Ind., had offered fifteen acres of land 
as a building site, and this was at once accepted. Some $1,300 were slowly gathered and a 
small building was erected. Rev. Caleb Mills was appointed instructor ; and on the 3d of 
December, 1833, twelve young men began to receive instruction. The ensuing year two 
additional instructors were added, and the number of students increased. In November of 
1834, Rev. Elihu W. Baldwin, D.D., was elected as President, and resigned a prominent 
church in New York City to accept the office. He at once began to secure pledges for the 
College in the Eastern cities, and the amount obtained was $24,000. 

In 1835 the present campus was purchased, and “ South Hall ” was commenced. After 
a severe struggle it was ready for occupation in January, 1838 ; and on July 10, 1838, the 
first graduates, two in number, went forth. In September of that year the new building was 
destroyed by fire, and the labor of six years had vanished in a night. The loss was $15,000. 
One year thereafter a new building had arisen, but a heavy debt rested on it. President 
Baldwin died in 1849, and Rev. Charles White, D.D., succeeded him. His appeals for years 
brought the money from the East, except for which the College could not have been sustained. 
For almost twenty years he stood at its head. He lived to see it enter upon its prosperous 
career, and died in 1861. Large sums have since that date been expended in the erection of 
buildings and in providing the necessary accessories for the successful study of the Natural 
Sciences. A citizen of New Jersey gave the College $48,000, and a resident of Indiana made 
himself its largest donor by giving $140,000. Many smaller gifts have been received. Dur¬ 
ing the last twenty-five years of its history it has advanced steadily ; and to-day its grounds, 
buildings, libraries, apparatus, museum and endowments, stand as the visible proof of its 
wise and faithful management. It has sent forth more than half a thousand well trained 
men ; and nearly two thousand others have been taught in its class-rooms. 

No attempt has been made for show in the construction of the buildings ; but they are 
comfortable, well adapted for work, and present an imposing appearance. Peck Scientific Hall 
is admirable in its arrangement for the Departments of Physics and Chemistry. In every 
Department of Natural Science, the student pursues his studies under most favorable circum¬ 
stances. The Hovey Museum Building is devoted to the laboratories and collections in the 
Department of Biology. It contains a complete series of fossils to aid in the study of Paleon¬ 
tology, an Archaeological collection, a large herbarium, etc. In Botany the original work 
done under Prof. Coulter has been exceptionally fine. 

In general the methods of instruction are those most approved, and go beyond the ordi¬ 
nary routine of recitation rooms, seeking to develop in experimental work the strongest and 
most self-reliant mental culture. The catalogue for 1888 shows a faculty numbering twelve, 
with Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle, D.D., at its head, and a total attendance of 242 students. Young 
ladies are not admitted.

THE DELTA CHI. 


THE DELTA CHI. 


For many years Sigma Chi, although repeatedly solicited to establish 
a chapter at Wabash College, had steadily refused, in the belief that her 
extension in Indiana was already as great as the territory properly allowed. 
Yet the petition of 1880 was pressed with so much vigor, and backed with 
such strong recommendations, that there was no longer any room for doubt 
as to the wisdom of establishment. In 1878 there was formed at Wabash 
College a local fraternity called the Athenaeum. It had a rapid growth, 
maintaining a high ideal and standard of membership, and soon became a 
formidable antagonist of the local Greek societies. It seemed best, however, 
to its members, in order better to secure the perpetuity of their organization; 
to obtain a charter from some reputable Greek fraternity. Their decision 
once taken, Sigma Chi was quickly determined upon as the one into which 
it was most desirable to merge the association. Accordingly an application 
for membership was drawn up, dated March 27, 1880, and signed by the 
twenty members of the society. 

This petition was first presented to the informal convention of the 
Indiana members of Sigma Chi, which met at Indianapolis at the time of 
the State Oratorical Contest. A delegation from the petitioners was 
accorded a hearing before this convention ; and the result of the discussion 
which followed was the unanimous endorsement of their petition. A charter 
was promptly voted by the fraternity; and the chapter was instituted as the 
Delta Chi, with the following charter members : Henry N. Coons, Abraham 
L. Flanningham, George A. Mackintosh, Charles F. Dame, Charles P. Bates, 
Albert S. Hughey, Philip M. Jamieson, George L. Mackintosh, Horace F. 
King, Otis A. Smith, Samuel A. Snoddy, William W. Snoddy, Daniel H. 
Lane and Empson Cory. Its career since has been worthy of the high hopes 
entertained for it in the beginning. Its membership has been of a high order, 
and it has been second to none of its local rivals, from whatever stand¬ 
point the comparison may be made. It has met with unusual success in 
the competition for college honors of every description, and has taken 
a prominent part in the athletics and other college enterprises. In 
1887 the chapter left the hall it had occupied for a number of years, 
and moved into larger and better quarters, which it has attractively fur¬ 
nished with a handsome piano and other inducements to genuine comfort. 
In the selection of its members the chapter has adopted a more conserva¬ 
tive plan than any of its local rivals; and its distinguishing characteristic 



WABASH COLLEGE. 


407 


at present is probably the fraternal feeling and complete congeniality of its 
men. In the work of the general fraternity Charles W. Moores, of Rho 
and Delta Chi, has been among the most active of the Indiana Sigs, and 
was elected the first Grand Praetor of the Province. As the youngest of the 
Indiana chapters, Delta Chi has only recently become one of the most 
active chapters in the State ; but it is now creditably administering the 
affairs of the Province through Frank L. Shull, the present Grand Praetor. 

Sigma Chi at Wabash meets Beta Theta Pi (1845) ; Phi Delta Theta 
(1852) ; Phi Gamma Delta (1866) ; and Phi Kappa Psi (1870). There are 
defunct chapters of Delta Tau Delta (1872-80), and Theta Delta Chi 
(1879-82).

MONMOUTH COLLEGE. 


This institution is located at Monmouth, a quiet little city of seven thousand inhabitants, 
in the western part of Illinois. The location is, in many respects, a most admirable one for a 
seat of learning. It is easy of access by rail from all directions. Its moral tone is high, 
there being churches of eight different religious bodies, and no saloons. The College was 
first opened on September 3, 1856, and was incorporated February 17, 1857. The corporate 
powers are vested in a Senate. This Senate is composed of Trustees, nine in number, and 
Directors, twenty-six in number, convened in joint session. For certain purposes the Trus¬ 
tees may meet and act separately from the Directors. 

The College buildings and grounds are commodious and attractive. The main building 
is a fine structure, three stories in height above the basement, and is finely appointed in all 
respects. It contains twenty-three rooms adapted to college work, among which are class¬ 
rooms, literary halls and chapel. Three Departments are open to students—Classical, 
Scientific and Literary. Besides these there is a Preparatory Course. Music, instrumental 
and vocal, is included in the Scientific Department. The musical advantages afforded are 
especially good. Through the College library and the library of the town, some 17,000 
volumes are open to the students. The Reading-room is large and well furnished with the 
best current literature. The last catalogue shows a corps of fourteen professors and over 
three hundred students in its various departments. There have gone forth about eight 
hundred graduates—a larger number probably than any similar institution of equal age in 
the West. Many of them have attained to prominent places in their various vocations. 

The institution is strictly denominational, and is under the control and operated in the 
interests of the United Presbyterian Church. Secret societies of all kinds are regarded by 
that body of Christians most unfavorably, and accordingly the Greek-letter fraternities are 
prohibited in the College. 

The faculty regard it as an important part of their work to labor for the moral and 
spiritual culture of the students and the Bible is made a text-book. There is a special course 
of study, including nine departments, in any one or more of which a student may graduate 
with honors, first or second, according to his attainments. These honors are not competitive. 
All who complete the prescribed course with sufficient grade receive them. There are four 
literary societies, two of which are controlled by the young men, and two by the ladies. Two 
college papers are issued and afford another field for literary exercise. 

The institution is not an expensive one to attend, estimates ranging from $160 to $250 per 
year. Its prospects for permanent work would be greatly improved were it endowed at least to 
some extent. Looking to this end, the Rev. David C. Wilson, one of the charter members of 
the original Nu Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, has been appointed as an agent, and to 
all knowing his adaptability for the work the promise is bright that this need will be very largely 
supplied. The institution being strictly denominational will be limited in its work, and 
confined mostly to the children of one religious faith and to local patronage. It has, however, 
in the past, and will no doubt in the future, do well its part in its own chosen narrowed field 
of operations.

THE EPSILON EPSILON. 


THE EPSILON EPSILON. 


The Epsilon Epsilon was chartered June n, 1874, and was instituted 
during the same month by a delegation from the Omega with the following 
charter members : Allen M. Acheson, David D. Bigger, Thomas H. Candor, 
James A. Ferguson, William M. Porter, and Thomas Anderson. Monmouth 
College is governed by the United Presbyterian Church, which, according 
to its church government, discountenances secret societies of all kinds. 
Shortly after the establishment of the chapter, the College Senate passed a 
statute making it unlawful for a student of the College to join a secret fra¬ 
ternity, or for an active member of such society to be admitted as a student 
of the College. The fraternities, therefore, resolved on a sub rosa existence ; 
and this status might have continued with but slight interference on the part of 
the faculty (who were currently suspected of not being enthusiastic supporters 
of the anti-fraternity law), were it not for an act of boldness on the part of 
the fraternities which finds few parallels. During the Winter of 1878, the 
four fraternities in the College held a conference, and decided to come out 
openly with their colors. A college sociable was chosen as the occasion for 
this daring procedure ; and on the appointed night fifty badges sparkled 
in the gaslight, while the faculty, with paper and pencil, put down the names 
of the audacious rebels. The fraternity men had hoped by this outspoken 
move to secure recognition as a distinct element of the student body ; but 
the faculty would treat with the men only as individuals, and offered them the 
alternative of severing their connection with their respective fraternities or 
of being expelled. The chapters of Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi there¬ 
upon returned their charters and dissolved active connection with their 
organizations. The chapters of Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Theta, while 
pretending to do the same, really continued to exist sub rosa . The brief 
career of the Epsilon Epsilon was marked by a high order of scholarship 
and literary merit in its members. The following fraternities have estab¬ 
lished at Monmouth College : Beta Theta Pi (1865-78); Delta Tau Delta 
(1865-74); Phi Gamma Delta (1866-71); Phi Delta Theta (1871); Phi 
Kappa Psi (1872).

CENTRE COLLEGE. 


Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky in 1819. Rev. Joseph 
Chamberlain, D.D., was its first President. In 1824 its charter was so modified that its 
Board of Trustees were to be thereafter appointed by the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky. 
To secure this power a payment of $20,000 was made into its treasury. Since 1830 the 
Synod, through its appointees, has had the care of the College. Rev. Gideon Blackburn, D.D., 
succeeded Dr. Chamberlain in 1828. For twenty-seven years, beginning in 1830, Rev. John 
C. Young, D.D., was at its head. Rev. L. W. Green, D.D., was President from 1858 to 
1863. Rev. William C. Breckinridge, D.D., succeeded to the office, and held it for five 
years. O. Beatty, LL.D., then took up the duty of guiding its work, and continued so to do 
until 1888, when W. C. Young, D.D., became his successor. Danville, where the College is 
located, is near the centre of Kentucky, easy of access, and noted for its healthfulness. It is 
a small city of some 4,000 people, well adapted in every way to afford the outside conditions 
needed for an educational centre. The people are especially interested in their college, and 
it greatly adds to the culture of the town. 

The funds of the College, under careful management and through the liberality of 
friends, have steadily increased, and the endowment is now sufficiently large to ensure per- 
manancy, although not large enough to enable it to keep abreast of the heavily endowed 
institutions springing up all over the country. Its courses of instruction are not numerous, but 
include all the studies usually taught in American colleges. It makes no claim to university 
breadth as to instruction, but contents itself with non-professional training. The symmet¬ 
rical development of the mind and the broadest culture are sought for, and this is thought to 
be acquired by a full Classical and Literary course. The only choice given as to this course 
is between Mathematics and German in the Junior year. In addition to the Classical and 
Literary course, there is the Scientific course. The successful completion of either course 
leads to graduation and a degree. Nine-tenths of the students take the regular Classical 
and Literary course. 

Centre College is one of the first colleges west of Pennsylvania to send forth graduates. 
In this respect she antedates Miami University by two years. Each year, from 1824, has she 
added to the number ; no interruption has taken place in the carrying on of her work. The 
whole number of graduates is about one thousand, many of whom have greatly distin¬ 
guished themselves ; and their success speaks more forcibly in favor of the old conventional 
course of classical study than anything else can. Seventeen College Presidents, forty-one 
College Professors, fourteen Representatives in Congress, four U. S. Senators, five Governors 
of States, one Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, twenty-four Circuit Judges, state and 
national, thirty-seven Editors, etc., etc., speaks well for the work done in her class-rooms. 
Eight Professors give instruction in the regular collegiate studies. The number of students 
in attendance for 1886-7 was 186. Ladies are not received ; as there is special provision mad e 
within the city of Danville for their separate instruction. The President of the Board of 
Trustees is the Rev. J. Me. Blayney, D.D., of Frankfort, Ky., one of the early members of 
the original Nu Chapter, at Washington, Pa.

THE ZETA ZETA. 


THE ZETA ZETA. 


Zeta Zeta Chapter was established toward the close of the year 1876. 
Centre College had been an early favorite of the Greeks, and previous to 
this time six fraternities had been established in the institution. The 
chapters of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta had been founded in 1842 
and 1850, respectively; and the prestige'which age and a long list of hon¬ 
ored alumni had cast about them, had proved too powerful for the rivals 
which had come to Danville prior to 1876. Phi Gamma Delta had lived 
but one year; and Phi Kappa Sigma had survived but two. Delta Kappa 
was merged into Phi Delta Theta; and Alpha Kappa Phi disintegrated 
during the war. The opinion had thus gained credence that Centre College 
could not support a third chapter; and the fraternity did not turn its atten¬ 
tion to Danville until Montgomery May, of Chi, and James W. Skinner, of 
Beta, decided that the fraternities then existing at Centre would furnish 
only a healthy rivalry to a properly conducted chapter of Sigma Chi. The 
success of the chapter they founded has completely justified their confidence. 
Skinner and May, together with Thomas L. Edelin, Charles T. Thomson, 
Samuel L. Curry, John Y. Leming and John P. McCartney, forwarded a 
petition to the Gamma ; and, supported by Chi and Beta, they secured a 
charter from the fraternity on November 25, 1876. In pursuance of the 
powers therein conferred, the petitioners and Glenn H. Putnam and Benjamin 
L. Wheat, assembled on the afternoon of December 12, 1876, in the south¬ 
ern wing of the old college building, and were there formally organized as 
the Zeta Zeta Chapter by Marcus I. Garrison, of Chi. 

From the very first the career of Zeta Zeta has been serene and uni¬ 
formly prosperous. The chapter has been signally fortunate in the selection 
of its men. Its standing at college and in society has always been of the first 
rank ; and it has been more than able to cope with its rivals, with whom its 
relations have usually been pleasant and harmonious, except for an occasional 
dash at the time of the society elections. In these contests the repeated 
successes of Zeta Zeta have been phenomenal. The remarkable number of 
orators it has furnished both on the celebrations of Washington’s Birthday 
and on the annual exercises of the societies in June, bears testimony to the 
merit of the chapter and to its influence in the institution. In 1877, Thomas 
L. Edelin, one of the charter members, crowned his record as a prize-win¬ 
ner with the valedictory of his class, and appropriately opened the honor 
roll of the chapter, which now includes so many of the honor men of Centre. 
The members of Zeta Zeta have been genial, whole-souled fellows, full of

the spirit of Sigma Chi; and in the prosperous days which its friends now 
believe to be dawning at “ Old Centre,” the interests of Sigma Chi have 
been placed in worthy hands. 

The fraternities at Centre College (other than Sigma Chi) have been 
Beta Theta Pi (1842) ; Phi Delta Theta (1850); Phi Gamma Delta (1856-6); 
Alpha Kappa Phi (1858); Phi Kappa Sigma (1860-2), and (Southern) 
Kappa Alpha (1883).

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI. 




The University of Cincinnati is a municipal institution and forms a part of the general 
system of public instruction of the city of Cincinnati. Its foundation in the main came from 
the bequest of the late Charles McMicken. Donations have been made by private individ¬ 
uals, and the income from these sources has been supplemented by an annual tax levy of 
one-tenth of a mill upon the property within the city. The endowment, as set forth in the 
report of Hon. Samuel F. Hunt, Chairman of the Board of Directors, made to the General 
Assembly of the State of Ohio, January i, 1887, shows a fund of $751,391.87. The Board 
of Directors are nominated by the Superior Court of the city and by the Board of Educa¬ 
tion—two by the former and one by the latter—each year. The confirming power is in the 
Common Council of the city. The University opened in 1875, an< ^ the y ear ly average of 
students has been about one hundred. The faculty has been increased from time to time, and 
it now numbers fourteen. 

The University acts upon the principle that the same studies and outline are not best 
suited to all minds, and do not give the best results in widely different pursuits. It does not over¬ 
look the great advantages that come from a broad course of mental culture. While providing 
for difference of taste and different aims in life on' the part of the pupil, it yet insists that the 
University itself shall determine the regular courses and that students shall conform to them. 
The student’s freedom consists not so much in determining his studies, as his course of studies. 
He may choose between a course in Civil Engineering, a course in Science, a course in Arts, 
corresponding largely to the usual Classical curriculum, and a course in Letters of a strictly 
literary character. There are post-graduate courses with each of the foregoing. The courses 
extend over a period of four years, and all the studies of the first three years are obligatory, 
while some hours in the fourth year may be occupied with elective studies. By the terms of 
the will of Charles McMicken, “The Holy Bible of the Protestant version shall be used as 
a book of instruction.” This is complied with in the letter, if not in the spirit. The Pro¬ 
fessor of Ethics devotes one hour each week to expository instruction, during which no other 
instruction is given, but the attendance upon this instruction is voluntary. There are no 
tutors employed in the University. All instruction is given by Professors appointed on the 
ground of especial qualification for the special work allotted them. The Observatory con¬ 
nected with the University is situated on Mt. Lookout, outside the city. The telescope has 
an eleven-inch aperture and a focal length of sixteen feet. The eye-pieces> range in power 
from 90 to 1,500 diameters. It is well equipped in every way. Young women are placed 
upon an equality in every respect with young men. The University affords fine opportu¬ 
nities to the residents of Cincinnati. Instruction is free to them, and even necessary 
expenses, such as laloratory fees, are reduced to a minimum.

THE ZETA PSI. 


THE ZETA PSI. 


Zeta Psi Chapter of Sigma Chi was established on January 23, 1882, 
with the following charter members : Leonard R. Freeman, John G. O’Con¬ 
nell, Howard Breen, Edward Muehlberg, William C. Clarke, E. Ambler 
Harper and Herman Schmidt. The city of Cincinnati had long been one 
of the strong-holds of Sigma Chi ; and a number of the members of the 
Theta Alumni Chapter had been making earnest endeavors to secure the 
consent of the fraternity to the establishment of an active chapter at the 
University. In this their efforts had been successful; and on the evening 
of the day already named, all of the charter members of the new chapter 
met at the parlors of the Gibson House, and from there adjourned to the 
law offices of Hon. Howard Ferris, where the ceremonies of initiation were 
performed. After the conclusion of the installation exercises, a sumptuous 
repast was hugely enjoyed, and amid the best of good cheer the firmest 
friendships were cemented. The new chapter had the field entirely to itself, 
and was soon in admirable working order. Among the students who come 
to the University from the city of Cincinnati and its neighborhood, the 
chapter found itself able to select what it wanted—an average membership 
of a dozen excellent men. Its interest in the affairs of the general frater¬ 
nity was unusually active from the beginning. Its attention to routine 
duties has always been prompt and business-like; and at the Fifteenth 
Biennial Convention, in 1884, the Zeta Psi shared with the Theta Alumni 
the honor and the credit of entertaining one of the most successful conven¬ 
tions ever held by the fraternity. In recognition of the active interest of 
the chapter, Mr. Oscar L. Kuhn was, in 1886, elected Grand Praetor of the 
Third Province. 

At first the chapter rented three very pleasant rooms in the “ down¬ 
town” district of the city; but in 1885 it secured quarters in the old 
McMicken Homestead on the University grounds. These quarters were 
appropriately papered, frescoed and furnished, and here the chapter re¬ 
mained until the present year, when it removed to pleasanter and more 
convenient rooms near the University. It has accumulated a chapter 
library of several hundred volumes, and is now very comfortably situated. 
Owing to the large attendance of its best students from the city and its 
suburbs, the chapter-house system will probably never prevail at the Uni¬ 
versity of Cincinnati; but the establishment of attractive Sigma Chi head¬ 
quarters has already been agitated among the Cincinnati alumni, and it is 
hoped that a Sigma Chi club-house will, before many years, be in successful 



UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI.

operation in this and other centres of our graduate membership. In con¬ 
nection with these plans the Zeta Psi expects ultimately to secure permanent 
quarters with the resident alumni. 

The establishment of the chapter was also salutary in its effect on the 
life of the University, creating a spirit of activity and vivacity previously 
unknown. Zeta Psi became the leader of all the student enterprises, and 
carried them to a succcessful issue. Sigma Chi has always had a large 
representation on the various University publications, and for several years 
it has conducted a very creditable college annual. The one recognized 
need of the chapter for many years was a sufficient rivalry. Quite a num¬ 
ber of fraternities had made the attempt to enter the institution ; but as 
they persisted in approaching men who preferred to enter Sigma Chi, their 
plans had all miscarried ; and it was not until 1889 that Beta Theta Pi suc¬ 
ceeded in establishing a chapter.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. 


On the 26th of August, 1817, the Territorial Government of Michigan passed an act 
entitled “An Act to establish the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania.” The act 
itself is as pedantic in its phraseology as is the title. The pedantry, however, was in the 
phraseology only. The system of education that it laid down was one that had much to 
commend. It provided for primary schools, high schools, academies and colleges, and their 
location in the counties, cities, and townships ; for the appointment of their instructors and 
their management. The University was to be the climax of all these lesser schools. This 
act gave place, before it could be put into operation, to another passed in 1821, and this in 
turn to that of 1837, under which the University was established. In the acts of 1821 and 
1837, many of the features of the original act were retained. The first buildings for the 
use of the University were completed in the Summer of 1841 ; and in the Autumn of that year 
the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts was opened. At the very beginning, 
the course of instruction in this department was rounded out and made equal to that of any 
college in the Eastern States. It provided for instruction in several departments not at that 
day usually included in the college course. It was successful from the first, but more espe¬ 
cially after the reorganization that took place in 1852. It includes the Collegiate and Tech¬ 
nological Schools, as also the School of Political Science. During the last year 748 students 
were in attendance in this department. 

The first professional school was that of Medicine and Surgery, organized in 1850. It 
has been very prosperous from the first. Its course covers three years. Over three hundred 
students are being instructed at this time by a corps of 24 instructors. Its roll of graduates 
numbers 2,516. The Department of Law matriculated its first students in 1859. During 
the tVenty-nine years of its existence its alumni have numbered 3,527. The attendance 
during the last year was 341. The Law Library is a most valuable one, numbering 9,250 
volumes. Instruction is chiefly by lectures. The School of Pharmacy dates from 1868. It 
has 506 alumni, and in 1887-8 there were 90 students. The Homoeopathic Medical College 
was established in 1875. It has graduated about 200 students ; and during its last session its 
undergraduates numbered 74, of whom more than one-third were women. The College of 
Dental Surgery opened in 1875, and the last catalogue shows an attendance of 104, with 321 
alumni. The total number of students in all the departments for 1887-8, was 1,667 5 an( i the 
instructors numbered 98. The increase during the last decade is very marked. The total 
number of alumni of all the departments is 8,867. The scope of the work of the University, 
by formal resolution in 1870, was declared to include women. The number taking advantage 
of its privileges has gradually increased. In 1878 there were 93, or 7 y 2 per cent, of the 
total attendance ; in 1887-8, 270, or 16^ per cent. They are represented in all departments. 

The various Libraries contain 62,398 volumes and 12,411 pamphlets. The different Muse¬ 
ums are full and constantly on the increase. At this time there are 60,000 entries, and 255,000 
specimens. There are nine Laboratories. The largest, that of Chemistry, accommodates 
at one time 269 students. The Astronomical Observatory was the gift of citizens of Detroit. 
It contains a telescope with an object-glass thirteen inches in diameter. The college grounds 
cover forty acres ; and the buildings and grounds are valued at $948,000. The yearly income 
is over $200,000. It comes in part from the State tax of one-twentieth of a mill, in part 
from endowment, and in part from students’ fees. Tuition is free in all the departments ; 
but there is an annual fee of from twenty to thirty-five dollars for incidental expenses. The 
work of the University in every department is most efficiently done. About one-half of the 
studies are prescribed. As an institution claiming the rank of a university, it stands among 
the first in our country.

THE THETA THETA. 


THE THET/\ THETA- 


The University of Michigan was long regarded as the most prominent 
university of the West, or as a post-prandial orator recently put it, “the 
greatest of fresh-water colleges.” Its foundations were laid in a broad and 
catholic spirit; it has been the special pride of the people of the State, and 
the recipient ot the Legislature’s bounty. As a consequence it has outstripped 
the other State institutions of the West, and has gained, the world over, the 
rank of a University, in all that the word implies. The semi-centennial of 
the institution, which was celebrated in 1887, saw the number of students 
gathered in its several departments second in the list of American institu¬ 
tions of learning. The desirability of establishing a chapter of the Sigma 
Chi Fraternity at the University, was early recognized by the Parent Chap¬ 
ter. The Gamma minute book of December 4, 1856, has this entry : “ The 
object of the meeting was stated by Bro. Reynolds to be to take into con¬ 
sideration a petition from Ann Arbor University for the establishment of 
a chapter at that place. On motion, the petition was received, and the 
chapter voted ‘yes’ on the matter.” Why the chapter was not established 
at this time, is not definitely known; although the field may have been 
considered crowded, as Beta Theta Pi, Chi Psi, Alpha Delta Phi, Delta 
Kappa Epsilon and Delta Phi, were already in the institution, the three 
latter having just been established. At all events, nothing further was 
done until 1874, when a charter was granted to certain students of the 
Literary Department as the “Psi Psi Chapter.” The Literary Department 
contained eight fraternities by this time, all well established and forced to 
compete sharply with each other for proper material. The only member 
of the Psi Psi who is now carried on the rolls of the fraternity is Thomas 
D. Cone, of Toledo, O. The other 'members of the chapter seem not to 
have possessed the moral stamina and executive ability required to carry 
the new chapter through its first few years of trial, and the fraternity soon 
recognized that they were utterly unworthy of its privileges. But a man 
who was made of sterner stuff soon entered the University of Michigan. 
He had already espoused the cause of Sigma Chi in the face of some of the 
strongest opposition which the fraternity has ever met. With two others, 
he had organized the Beta Chapter at the University of Wooster, in the 
Fall of 1872, when there were only seventy-five students in the institution 
(then two years old), and when the efforts of four other fraternities were 
combined to crush the new chapter in its infancy. The long and plucky 



UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. 


435 


struggle which ended so successfully at Wooster, endued Orville S. Brum- 
back with such an abiding faith in the worth of his fraternity, that a similar 
struggle at the University of Michigan was far from unwelcome. Having 
graduated at Princeton with an Honorary Oration in 1877, Brumback 
decided to enter the Law Department of the University of Michigan in 
the Fall of that year. His cousin, Bion L. Meredith, who had joined the 
fraternity at the University of Wooster in 1876, also entered the sophomore 
class of the Literary Department that year, and the two resolved to organize 
a chapter at the University if it could be done with credit to the fraternity. 

As soon as they had familiarized themselves with the situation, they 
found that the Literary Department was crowded with fraternities of all 
grades and of every character. They saw also that a few of these chapters 
were clearly in the lead of the motly crowd that pressed upon each other’s 
heels in the scramble for members. That Sigma Chi would consent to 
measure herself by the standard of the inferior fraternities, was not to be 
considered. They knew that in all essentials she would insist upon a chap¬ 
ter second to none. She would not ask, of course, to start with the advan¬ 
tages which the leading societies had taken years to acquire, excellent 
chapter-houses and historical prestige; but unless she could secure a class of 
membership equal in quality with the best, and saw before her the reason¬ 
able prospect of successful competition with the leading fraternities of the 
University, she would decline to establish a chapter. In the Literary De¬ 
partment Meredith found that the intense rivalry hurried nearly all of the 
better men into one or another of the established fraternities, leaving 
almost no material that would be satisfactory to Sigma Chi. In the Law 
Department, however, Brumback discovered a very different state of 
affairs. The department then extended over only a six months course in 
each year; and no fraternity was accustomed to make much effort toward 
securing members among the “ Laws,” although occasionally a man was 
initiated from that department. There were in the department a number 
of splendid fellows of high character, equal in every respect to the choicest 
students in the Literary Department, if not superior on account of being 
a little more advanced in years. In the Medical Department also there 
were men of equal quality; and as members of Sigma Chi from other 
colleges were constantly coming to Ann Arbor to pursue their professional 
studies, and also to complete their Literary course, a plan began to shape 
itself in the minds of Brumback and Meredith, which assumed definite out¬ 
lines when they learned that the standard of the Law Department was soon 
to be raised, and the course increased to nine months of each year. They 
decided to found a chapter of Sigma Chi upon the broad platform of mak¬ 
ing it in fact a University fraternity, taking good men wherever they could 
be obtained, without regard to the department they had entered ; and upon 
this basis the Theta Theta has since been successfully conducted. 


43 6 


THE THETA THETA. 


The subject was first broached to several carefully selected men in the 
Law Department, who readily fell in with the suggestion and went vigor¬ 
ously to work. About this time Brumback discovered another Sigma Chi 
in the University, James W. Gladish ? of Lambda; and he also took hold 
with a royal will and was a power in achieving ultimate success. Finally, 
in October, 1877, fifteen capital fellows met in Brumback’s room on State 
Street and drew up a petition for a charter. On November 27, 1877, this was 
granted, and preparations were immediately made for initiation. Three rooms 
in the Cook House at Ann Arbor were engaged for use in initiating the new 
chapter; and the three petitioners who, as mentioned above, were already 
members of the fraternity, performed the ceremonies. The charter mem¬ 
bers, who were initiated on the evening of December 12, 1877, were: 
Thomas C. Logan, Eugene E. Prussing, Henry E. Baker, William L. Brack- 
inridge, Thomas A. Dickson, Jude E. Dunlap, John V. Eustace, Jr., Harry 
C. Hanna, Frank S. Hastings, John M. Kinnaird, William B. McGrorty and 
George M. Orr. 

The new chapter secured rooms in the Opera House Block in Ann 
Arbor and furnished them handsomely. Meetings of a literary, as well as 
social, character were held every week; and in the latter part of March, 
1878; an elaborate banquet was served in the Chapter Hall with an unusu¬ 
ally attractive literary accompaniment. The close of the first year (1877-8) 
of Theta Theta’s life found the chapter on a firm basis internally and 
recognized by and popular with all the fraternities of the University. The 
policy of maintaing a first-class chapter in all the departments commended 
itself then, as it has ever since, in preference to that policy which certain 
fraternities have followed in entering the Literary Department alone with an 
inferior class of men. On October 6, 1879, Mortimer C. Miller was elected 
as one of the editors for the college annual, “ The Palladium ; ” and W. B. 
Stickney, in 1880, and other editors from Sigma Chi have since added 
much to the value of this publication, notable features being the sketches 
of Samuel R. Ireland in the editions of 1888 and 1889. The chapter 
has generally held the Law Department editorship of one or both of the 
regular college papers, The Chronicle and The Argonaut. The University 
of Michigan has no honors, prizes or distinctions ; but the positions on Class 
Day, and the regular class offices are considered as such and are eagerly 
sought. In all of these positions the chapter has frequently been repre¬ 
sented. 

In the Summer of 1887, the long cherished plan of entering a Chapter 
House was brought to a happy fruition through the efforts of John W. Bennet t, 
who had come from Omega Chapter in 1880. Through a vigorous corres¬ 
pondence with the alumni he secured enough financial assistance to furnish 
nicely the brick house on the south-east corner of Thayer and Washington 
Streets. This house the chapter continued to occupy until 1887, when it 


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. 


437 


removed to its present new and beautiful house at No. 91 Huron Street, just 
east of Ingalls. The domestic property of the chapter has increased con¬ 
siderably in the past few years, and the Chapter House presents now a very 
elegant and home-like interior. A fund for the erection of a house that will 
be the chapter’s own permanent home was commenced in 1888. A portion 
of the money subscribed is already in the hands of the trustee of the fund— 
Hon. O. S. Brumback, of Toledo, O. The alumni of the chapter are now a 
considerable number, and there is reason to expect that they will assist 
liberally in the building of the proposed house. When the chapter has a 
home of its own, it will be able to compete on equal terms with the leading 
fraternities in the Literary Department. The course it has pursued has 
enabled it to keep the quality of its membership up to the very best the 
University affords, while it has been preparing for successful competition 
with its most formiable rivals on their own ground. 

The following fraternities have been established at the University of 
Michigan : Beta Theta Pi (1845) > Chi Psi (1845); Alpha Delta Phi (1846) ; 
Delta Kappa Epsilon (1855); Delta Phi (1855-78) ; Zeta Psi (1858); Sigma 
Phi (1858) ; Phi Delta Theta (1864-9 an d 1888); Psi Upsilon (1865); Phi 
Delta Phi (1869); Delta Tau Delta (1875) i Phi Kappa Psi (1876); Delta 
Upsilon (1876); Kappa Alpha Theta (1879); Gamma Phi Beta (1881); 
Phi Alpha (1881); Nu Sigma Nu (1881); Chi Phi (1882); Delta Gamma 
(1885) > Delta Sigma Delta (1882) ; Phi Chi (1883); Collegiate Sorosis 
(1886); Phi Gamma Delta (1886) ; Mu Sigma Alpha (1888); Alpha Tau 
Omega (1888) ; Pi Beta Phi (1888); Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1889).

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. 


When the State of Georgia, in 1802, ceded to the general government the territory 
which now comprises the State of Alabama, it was provided in the act of cession that the 
general government should set apart at least one township for the endowment of a “ Semi¬ 
nary of Learning for the Promotion of Science, Literature and Learning.” This condition 
was provided for, when Alabama was admitted into the Union in 1819, by the reservation of 
seventy-two sections of the public lands of Alabama, “ for the use of said Seminary.” In 
the constitution of the State of 1819 this trust was accepted. These lands were sold by the 
State ; and the proceeds, between seven and eight hundred thousand dollars, were paid into 
the State treasury. The University was chartered in 1820, but was not organized until 1831. 
It was located at Tuscaloosa, in West Middle Alabama. Tuscaloosa stands on a plateau near 
the falls of the Black Warrior River, and was, until 1846, the State capital. The State never 
accounted to the University for the funds received from the sale of lands, but, in 1859, voted 
its indebtedness to be $300,000, upon which it pays interest at the rate of eight per cent. 

The most prosperous period of the University was during the war, 1861-65. This, no 
doubt, resulted from the closing of other institutions and from its providing a course of 
military instruction. In 1862-3 there were 256 cadets, and the next year 341. Being in a 
sense a military school, in April, 1865, under orders from General Croyton, of the United States 
Army, the University buildings proper were destroyed by fire. In this conflagration all the 
libraries and college records perished. The buildings have been rebuilt on a more extensive 
scale ; and the libraries are growing, containing at this-time about 9,000 volumes. General 
II. D. Clayton, LL.D., is now at its head, and its prosperity is almost equal to that of 
1861-5. If provides for instruction in two departments, an Academic and a Professional. 
The Academic Department is divided into eleven Schools. These Schools are grouped into 
four courses, viz., Classical, Scientific, Civil Engineering, and Mining Engineering. There 
are post-graduate courses, but no preparatory department. In the Professional Department 
there are three Schools, grouped into the Law course. The discipline of the Academic 
Department is military, and there is a cadet uniform worn by all the students. 

The buildings are built upon a quadrangle. Alva Woods Hall, named in honor of the 
first President, Alva Woods, D.D. (1831-37), is a four-story edifice with east and west wings 
three stories in height, and occupies the north side of the quadrangle ; Manly Hall, named 
in honor of its second President, Basil Manly, D.D. (1837-55), forms the west side, and is 
three stories high. Clark Hall is on the south side, three stories high, 60 by 100 feet; and 
on the east side is Garland Hall, named in honor of Landon C. Garland, D.D., its third 
President (1855-65). A Chemical Laboratory has just been completed. The University 
grounds embrace about 500 acres. All the buildings above named, together with those 
provided for the families of the faculty, are substantial and well suited to their several 
ends. Their value is about $300,000. 

The number of students in the University in 1887-8 was 238, taught by twenty-one 
instructors. Twenty-one of the students are in the Professional Department. The Academic 
Department keeps the traditional classification of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. 
The classes number respectively 38, 30, 66, and 83, a total of 217. It is the leading educa¬ 
tional institution of the State, and will probably so continue. An income of at least $25,000 
is assured ; and as its work for the State is better understood it will receive larger aid from 
the Legislature.

THE IOTA IOTA. 


THE IOTA IOTA. 


The Iota Iota Chapter was founded and organized on October 29, 
1876, by Chapman Bradford, an initiate of Pi Chapter at Howard College. 
The charter members were: John L. Hendrick, Robert J. Lowe, Chapman 
Bradford, Thomas O. Smith, Kibble J. Harrison and Robert J. Staggers. 
There were only two initiates: Benjamin A. Stockard and Marion M. 
Stone. The chapter became defunct the following Summer of 1877, by 
reason of an order published on July 14, 1877, by the Board of Trustees, 
absolutely prohibiting fraternities and forbidding the cadets to connect 
themselves therewith. These restrictions were repealed in 1885 ; but the 
chapter has jiot been reestablished. 

The following fraternities have been established at the University of 
Alabama: Delta Kappa Epsilon (1847-57, since revived); Alpha Delta 

Phi (1851-9); Phi Gamm^ Delta (1856-76); Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1856-9, 
since revived); Sigma Nu (1875); Phi Delta Theta (1877).

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 


This University is both State and National in its origin. Its aims are fully outlined by 
the act of Congress making grants of lands to the different States for promoting the “ lib¬ 
eral and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions 
in life.” Under that act the State of Illinois received 480,000 acres. In addition to this land 
grant, the county of Champaign donated over $400,000 in.bonds, buildings and farms. Large 
appropriations were also made by the State for library, apparatus and buildings. The scope 
of the University, as at present realized, embraces four Colleges, and these are subdivided 
into Schools. A School is intended to embrace a line of studies adapted to fit the student 
for some one profession, trade or calling. Schools that are cognate in character and in 
studies are grouped in the same College. The Colleges are those of Agriculture, Engineer¬ 
ing, Natural Science, and Literature and Science. There are several Schools that are not 
included in these Colleges, viz., the Schools of Military Science, of Art and Design and of 
Vocal and Instrumental Music. Studies are largely elective. A degree, however, can only 
be gained by taking the studies prescribed for that degree. Co-education exists, although 
the attendance of women is confined mostly to the College of Literature and Science. The 
tuition is free. The Library contains about 18,000 volumes. The Museums and collections 
of various kinds show a full appreciation of these aids in imparting and acquiring knowledge. 

The University domain, including the stock farm of 400 acres, the experimental farm of 
180 acres, the orchards, nurseries, arboretum, ornamental grounds and military parade ground, 
embraces 623 acres. The buildings are fifteen in number. The principal ones are the Main 
University Building, the Mechanical Building and Drill Hall and the Chemical Laboratory. 
The Main Building occupies three sides of a quadrangle, measuring 214 feet in front and 122 
feet upon the wings. The Mechanical Building and Drill Hall is 126 by 88 feet. The endow¬ 
ment of the University consists of 16,000 acres of lands, well located in Minnesota and Nebraska, 
together with $450,000 invested in State and County bonds. The seat of the institution is 
within the corporate limits of the city of Urbana, Champaign County. It is one hundred 
and twenty-eight miles south of Chicago. The Catalogue for 1887-8 shows an attendance of 
377 students, 72 of whom were women. Of the Colleges, that of Agriculture had 23 students, 
of Engineering 160, of Natural Science 49, of Literature and Science 93. Of the 377 only 
8 studied either Latin or Greek. The number matriculated as students since the opening in 
March, 1868, is 2,224. The number graduated from the several Colleges is nearly 600. The 
faculty consists of twenty professors and eight instructors and teachers. All able bodied 
male students in preparatory studies, or in those of the first three collegiate years, receive 
instruction in military drill and discipline. After attending one term all male students are 
required to wear the University uniform. Labor is furnished, as far as possible, to students 
desiring partly to provide the cost of*their schooling. The maximum rate paid students for 
farm, garden and shop labor, is ten cents per hour, and for that about the buildings and 
ornamental grounds eight cents. As the number of students increases it becomes more 
difficult for them to secure employment. One of the flies in the student’s ointment at this 
institution is that he is forbidden the privilege of being a member of a Greek-letter society.

THE KAPPA KAPPA. 


THE KAPP/\ K/\PPA. 


The University of Illinois had been in existence only five years when 
it was first invaded by the Greeks. The fraternity which was then established 
seems to have been unwisely conducted ; and its exploits were poorly calcu¬ 
lated to inspire confidence in such societies. The chapter perished by a 
natural death; but its brief existence was sufficient to cause the University 
authorities to champion an ultra anti-fraternity policy after its death, and the 
institution enjoyed immunity for a time from all secret organizations except 
the Friday evening meetings of the faculty. With the advent of Dr. Peabody, 
himself a Greek, to the Regent’s Chair, it was confidently assumed that a 
more liberal policy would prevail; and three separate bands of students 
were organized for the purpose of securing charters from as many fraternities. 
A leader of one of these student groups went as a delegate to the annual 
contest of the Inter-State Oratorical Association in the Spring of 1880, 
where he met Walter S. Montgomery, of Chi, who was the representative of 
the Indiana Association. Through Montgomery and subsequently through 
other members of the Chi, a petition was presented to the fraternity on 
November 8, 1880. The petitioners, consisting of four seniors, two juniors 
and two sophomores, were the leaders of the student government and in 
every way the most prominent students in the institution. They anticipated 
no hostility from the faculty, but naturally considered it prudent not to 
allow their movements to become known until they had been successful in 
securing a charter. It was therefore a surprise when one of their number 
was confronted one morning by the Regent with a friendly inquiry as to the 
progress they were making, the fraternity having written him for informa¬ 
tion concerning the standing of the petitioners. So entirely satisfactory 
was his report as to their character and abilities that a charter was granted 
soon after the meeting of the Grand Chapter, before which the merits of 
the petition had been urged by the representative of Chi. Unfortunately, 
at this moment a controversy over a class matter between the seniors and 
the lower-'classmen caused the separation of the petitioners into two hostile 
camps, each urging its own claims upon the coveted charter. The entire 
difficulty was exceedingly trivial at the outset. The senior class planted a 
class tree ; and a number of the lower-classmen, three of the petitioners in 
the number, tarred and feathered the tree and hung the empty tar bucket 
on a limb. They were betrayed by one of their own classmen, and all 
were forced to make a public apology to the senior class. In retaliation 
the tree was chopped down. A new one was planted, only to fall under the

ax; and a similar fate befell eight trees in succession. It is difficult now to 
conceive the bitterness of the feeling that divided the entire institution; 
and the perplexed fraternity delegated Oscar H. Montgomery, of the Chi, 
to investigate the situation while attending the meeting of the Inter-State 
Oratorical Association, of which he was then president. The respective 
claims were urged with rare persistency; and Montgomery departed with a 
burden of conflicting statements. His recommendation, however, was that 
the charter be conferred upon the under-classmen, and this was accordingly 
done. The names of the successful section were John G. Wadsworth, 
Arthur M. Bridge, Edward H. Swazey and Henry L. McCune, who asso¬ 
ciated with themselves David Eichberg, Clarence E. Brady and Richard E. 
Dorsey. These seven were the charter members of the Kappa Kappa. 
The Chi was authorized to institute the new chapter; but, at its request, 
the initiation was conducted by a delegation from the Delta Chi (King, 
Reynolds, Lamb and Loomis). The ceremony occurred in the early morn¬ 
ing of May 31, 1881, the preceding night having been devoted to banqueting 
and to the society of Champaign’s fair daughters, who were ever after stead¬ 
fast and loyal Sigmas. 

The opening of college in September, 1881, found the young chapter 
in excellent working order, with Phi Gamma Delta and Beta Theta Pi 
almost ready to establish rival chapters. Kappa Kappa increased her 
membership to sixteen,' rented and furnished an attractive hall; and the 
sky seemed clear. The boys who were members of Kappa Kappa’s band 
during her few unclouded days, now look back upon them as the most 
truly enjoyable portion of their college lives. But the storm was at hand. 
It would be a source of melancholy satisfaction to be acquainted with the 
true inwardness of Dr. Peabody’s motives in deliberately turning upon the 
fraternity system; and his position is worthy of more extended explanation 
than has yet been given it. The presumption has been that he was influ¬ 
enced by the arguments of President White, of Purdue University, in his 
celebrated crusade against the Greeks. Certain it is that the contest at 
Purdue deeply interested the Regent and his friends. At the meeting of the 
University Trustees on September 13, 1881, Dr. Peabody brought to their 
notice the existence of the chapter, and urged that immediate action be 
taken to suppress it. The Trustees, led by one Emory Cobb, a small man, 
to whom the University had sold its birthright for a plaster megatherium, 
promptly delegated their authority to the faculty, with discretionary powers. 
“ The Purdue Case,” however, was then in the lower courts of Indiana; and the 
Regent was shrewd enough to act with caution. The decision of the lower 
court was soon given; and the morning after the receipt of the news at 
Champaign the Regent made the announcement from the chapel rostrum that 
applicants for admission to the University must sign a pledge not to con¬ 
nect themselves with any college secret society, as a member or otherwise.

THE KAPPA KAPPA. 


But Kappa Kappa, to whose members the Greek world was yet so new 
and full of bright anticipations, had no thought of meekly bending to the 
executioner; and those students who were anticipating speedy connection 
with other fraternities were equally dissatisfied. Consultations were held, 
and plans of action discussed. The first measure settled upon was a petition 
to the faculty, requesting that the fraternities be permitted to exist in the 
junior and senior classes, according to the custom of certain eastern insti¬ 
tutions, which Dr. Peabody professed to regard with favor. Three men, 
representing the fraternities then interested, were chosen to appear before 
the faculty and personally urge that this petition receive favorable answer. 
The prayer, however, was unavailing. 

One of the chief objections urged against the admission of fraterni¬ 
ties was that they would intensify contentions in the student government. 
The elaborate system of self-government which prevailed in the University 
was the creation of Dr. John M. Gregory, its first Regent. It was in 
form a republic, with the customary executive, legislative and judicial 
branches. The President, Vice-President, Marshal and members of the 
Senate, which latter body was the legislative branch, were elected by 
ballot, the whole body of students having a voice in the election. The 
Judges were appointed by the President, and had the power to fine 
offenders in amounts less than twenty-five dollars. Contempts of court 
were reported to the faculty, a tribunal which dealt in such a summary 
way that the unfortunate defendant preferred to submit to the judg¬ 
ment of his fellows rather than fly to other evils that he dreaded more. 
Without entering into details, it may be said that this government worked 
out the following results : It gave ambitious students opportunity to develop 
their log-rolling proclivities and presented to them as possible prizes the 
President’s chair, a seat in the Senate or on the Bench. It gave twenty-one 
out of four hundred students some drill in parliamentary law on the occasion 
of a Senate meeting. It relieved the faculty of almost the whole duty of 
governing; and it also gave congenial occupation to that class of students 
whose own business was of so unimportant a nature that they had ample 
time in which to attend to the affairs of their fellows. This innovation in 
college government was already a demonstrated failure; and it was deter¬ 
mined to remove the objection to the admission of fraternities by destroying 
the cause of it. A mass meeting of those interested was held at one of the 
city halls, and a plan of action was marked out. A few days after, the 
students of the University, at a meeting of the general assembly, resolved 
that the “Student’s Government,” as it existed at Champaign, was a source 
of never-ending contention, and declared that they did there return all 
authority to govern to the faculty, from whom the power had originally 
issued. This action was stoutly opposed by that body and led to a novel 
struggle; but the University was finally freed from what must be acknowl- 


UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

edged by its staunchest supporters was a fountain of disturbance through the 
whole decade of its existence. Its destruction, however, only embittered 
the Regent; and the second state of the chapter was worse than its first. 
Soon after the holidays the fraternity hall was given up ; the furniture was 
sold, and the proceeds given to a charitable purpose ; and the ready money 
was devoted to a final and mournful banquet. The organization was not 
formally disbanded, and a sub rosa existence continued for some years in 
the hope of a change in the Board of Trustees or of action by the State 
Legislature. The Governor of the State and the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives were members of Sigma Chi; and considerable pressure 
was brought to bear upon the Trustees ; but the interests of the fraternity 
were then centered in Indiana; and it was decided to postpone any organ¬ 
ized effort in Illinois until the termination of the struggle at Purdue. When 
the victorious climax came immediate action was not practicable ; but in 
1885, the Grand Tribune of the fraternity was given a hearing before the 
Board of Trustees. As a result of his arguments, a special committee was 
appointed to visit Chicago where he could fully present the question for 
their consideration, their report being made the special order of business 
for the next regular meeting of the Board. This committee met at Chicago 
and devoted considerable time to a discussion of the fraternity question. 
A private canvass of the Board showed the probable success of a motion to 
repeal the restrictions; but at this juncture considerable doubt arose as 
to the wisdom of re-entering the University. The Trustees also became 
embarrasse'd in their attitude toward the fraternity by their desire to 
retain Dr. Peabody, who had been called to the Presidency of another 
institution. No action was taken at the next meeting of the Board; and 
nothing has since been done. 

The existence of Kappa Kappa, though brief, will not be forgotten at 
Champaign. From the moment of her foundation she was a power in the 
University. That this power was ever directed against the best interests of 
the institution has never been contended. The University has no warmer 
friends than her Sigma Chi graduates. These men were students and gen¬ 
tlemen, equally at home in the class-room and the social circle. They took 
no inferior ground as writers and orators; and they covered the shrine of 
Sigma Chi with prizes and honors, leaving a worthy foundation upon which 
to build when Illinois adopts a more liberal educational policy with its State 
University. The only other fraternity that has been actually established at 
Illinois State University is Delta Tau Delta (1872-9).

RAMPDEN-SIDNEY COLLEGE. 


This college stands on a tract of land in Prince Edward County, Virginia, containing 
one hundred acres, donated by Peter Johnston, the ancestor of ex-Senator Johnston and 
General Joseph E. Johnston. The deed bears date April 20, 1775. Its first prospectus is 
signed by Samuel S. Smith, who afterwards became President of the College of New Jersey 
(Princeton). In 1776, almost immediately after the College was opened, a military company 
was formed among the students and marched to Williamsburg and offered for service to the 
Governor of the State. And in 1781, when Cornwallis was pushing Green from North 
Carolina, Mr. Smith, then the President, joined the volunteers gathered to oppose the 
enemy. In May, 1783, the Legislature of Virginia granted the College a charter. This 
charter has never been amended. Under it the College is working successfully to-day. 

The Presbytery of Hanover has control of the College. From the first it has been closely 
allied to the Presbyterian Church, although no effort is made to change the faith of students 
belonging to other religious bodies. It seeks to be thoroughly Christian, and claims its raison 
d'etre to be to send into the world educated men who believe in Christianity. Its standard 
of scholarship is equal to that of the best Eastern colleges, and is higher than in most of the 
colleges of the country. It confines its work wholly to unprofessional studies ; and it must 
be acknowledged that students who will take its course will be well prepared to enter upon 
their special course of professional study. Its alumni have filled many important positions 
in Church and State. The names of Legrand, Kirkpatrick, Lacy, White, Pryor, Hoge, 
Atkinson and others, tell of its contributions to the clergy and of their grade. Once has 
it been represented in the Presidency of the United States, repeatedly in the Cabinet at 
Washington, and in both Houses of Congress. It has given Governors to six States of the 
Union, and Judges for the highest Courts, both State and Federal. Among the Ministers 
at foreign courts it has had numerous representatives. There are few institutions of learn¬ 
ing that can so rightfully point to their graduates as the proof of the good foundation for 
after life laid while within its walls. It either has been favored with exceptional students 
or it has done exceptional work. 

Among the distinguished Presidents may be mentioned Archibald Alexander, D.D., 
afterwards founder of Princeton Theological Seminary, Moses Hoge, D.D., Jonathan P. 
Cushing, Lewis W. Green, D.D., and J. M. P. Atkinson, D.D. Under President Cushing 
the present College building and the President’s house were erected, and a larger patronage 
obtained than at any previous time. He held office from 1821 to 1835. President Atkinson 
entered upon his work in 1857, and laid it down in 1883. He brought the College through 
the war and left it stronger in every element of material and scholastic strength than when 
he entered upon the work. Its President at this time is Richard Mcllwaine, D.D., an accurate 
scholar, devoted to the interests of the College. 

The endowment was derived chiefly from the sale of scholarships, and amounts to 
$110,000. There is a movement now on foot to increase this to $250,000. The curriculum 
is one intended to effect a liberal education as over against a professional. Its aim is to 
prepare for professional studies. It is a college and not a university. Its aim is to 
do thoroughly and well the work necessary to be done to give a strong, a wide, a successful 
basis for further culture on any special line that may be chosen. For this it is better pre¬ 
pared now than ever before. Its faculty has never been stronger in culture, character, 
fidelity and experience. The promise is that it will, in its steady, persistent way, continue 
to do work that will win approval and bring a steady growth in students and endowment 
and in public favor.

THE SIGMA SIGMA. 


THE SIGMA SIGMA. 


The Sigma Sigma was chartered on January 1, 1872, with four mem¬ 
bers : Isaac V. Scott, John R. Morton, Howard R. Walker and Orville M. 
Yerger. These men were wisely chosen to plant the White Cross at Hamp- 
den-Sidney 3 and their ranks were soon swelled to a very considerable 
number by strong and able men. Not only in the College but throughout 
the fraternity was the worth of the new chapter recognized3 and in 1874 
the Sigma Sigma had direction of the preparations for the Biennial Con¬ 
vention at Richmond. One of its members was also selected as the presid¬ 
ing officer on that occasion. For several years following 1875 the annual 
membership numbered between fifteen and twenty3 and these should 
probably be considered the brightest years in the history of the chapter. A 
Sigma Chi banquet about this time was a famous social event3 the orator’s 
medals and class honors fell with remarkable regularity to members of the 
chapter3 Cave won the Inter-Collegiate Contest in Oratory3 and Sigma 
Sigma rode in triumph on the crest of the wave. Owing to the proximity 
of the Union Theological Seminary, at which many of the alumni of Hamp- 
den-Sidney pursue a post-graduate course, the chapter, in common with its 
local rivals, was accustomed to extend the privileges of active membership 
to the Theological Seminary3 but for some time it has confined itself 
strictly to the College proper. For this reason, among others, its numbers 
in recent years have not reached the figures of this prosperous period. Its 
successes, however, in the oratorical and scholarly contests of the institution 
have continued 3 and its members have always been distinguished for their 
social qualities and manly character. The chapter has twice been honored 
by the selection of the Grand Praetor of the Province from its ranks 3 and 
its consistent adherence to the highest standard of membership and of 
fraternal feeling has given it the respect and confidence of the fraternity. 

The rivals of Sigma Chi at Hampden-Sidney are Beta Theta Pi (1850)3 
Phi Kappa Psi (1856)3 Chi Phi (1867)3 Phi Gamma Delta (1870).

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 



In 1749, Benjamin Franklin issued a pamphlet relating to the education of youth in 
Pennsylvania, which led to the founding, in 1751, of an academy on the lines suggested by 
that wise counsellor. In this academy there was an English, a Mathematical and a Latin 
School, each under a Master with subordinate instructors. Under the training of the learned 
William Smith, D.D., its highest classes attained such proficiency as would in many colleges 
entitle their members to degrees. A petition asking for collegiate powers, was granted in 
1755. The first commencement was held May 17, 1757, when seven students received the 
degree of Bachelor of Arts. In the troublous times that followed, the Provost, Dr. Smith, 
was a Tory of a very pronounced type ; and he was imprisoned by the Legislature. Faithful 
to his sworn duties, he received his classes in jail and continued his instructions. He was 
set at liberty and returned to England to secure financial aid, in which he was successful; and 
he returned in 1764. 

In 1779, t ^ ie Legislature confiscated all the rights and properties of the college and 
bestowed them upon a new organization called in its charter “The Trustees of the University 
of the State of Pennsylvania.” Ten years later this great wrong was recognized ; and in 1791 
a new act was passed amalgamating the old College in the new University, under the title of 
“The University of Pennsylvania.” Since that date the University has advanced with the 
times and now comprises the following: The College Department, embracing courses in 
Arts, Philosophy, Finance and Economy, Music, Mineralogy, Metallurgy and Mining, Civil 
Engineering, Dynamical Engineering, and Mechanical Drawing and Architecture; the 
Departments of Medicine, of Law, of Dentistry, of Philosophy, of Veterinary Medicine, of 
Biology, and of Physical Education, all fully equipped and well attended. In the College 
Department there are, as shown by the catalogue for 1887, 42 professors and instructors and 
361 students. The Medical School is the oldest of its class in the United States, dating from 
1765. It has a corps of professors and instructors numbering 62 ; and 406 students are in attend¬ 
ance. More students have been matriculated than in any other similar institution in America. 
Its graduates number 10,004. The whole number of professors and instructors in all depart¬ 
ments is 136 and of students 1,088. The instruction is not extended to ladies except in the 
School for Music. Connected with the University are numerous scholarships and many 
prizes. The various libraries are especially full and valuable. The financial position of the 
University is more satisfactory than at any previous time. The General Fund is over 
$1,000,000, the Hospital Fund is over $500,000, and various trust and endowment funds 
amount to $1,105,000. The total receipts for 1885, an average year, were $278,561.18. Prof. 
Tyndall selected this institution as one of three to be the recipients of the net proceeds of a 
series of lectures given in the United States in 1872 and 1873. The amount donated to this 
University was $10,800, and was set apart as the foundation for the “ Hector-Tyndall 
Fellowship.” Among the special trusts, the one growing out of the will of John Henry 
Towne is specially prominent. It endowed the Scientific Schools of the College Department 
and promises eventually to be equal to a half-million dollars. Provision is made for the 
physical education of the students. The athletic grounds comprise four acres, adjacent to 
the college buildings. A gymnasium, supplied with all the latest appliances, has been 
fitted up. /

THE PHI PHI. 


THE PRI PRI. 


The Phi Phi Chapter was created under charter dated September 27, 
1875. Prior to this time a branch of the Upsilon had been conducted at 
the University of Pennsylvania ; but in the Spring of 1875, Henry A. Potter, 
William B. Abbey, Earl M. Seitz, Isaac N. Gordon, Walter L. Finley and 
Joseph W. Yardley, of Upsilon, and Dwight M. Lowrey, of Gamma, all 
students of the University, united in a petition for a chapter separate and 
distinct from that at the Polytechnic College. In this petition it was 
forcibly urged that the amendment to the charter of Upsilon Chapter, 
giving it power to initiate students of the University, was without precedent, 
and that it was impossible for the students of two colleges so diverse in 
their aims and interests to maintain that intimacy which it is the essential 
object of the fraternity to promote. Against this division the members at 
the Polytechnic College made vigorous protest; but the petition was suc¬ 
cessful, and the Phi Phi was established. The Upsilon perished shortly 
after its birth; and the resident alumni did not feel kindly toward the new 
chapter. For several years it flourished; but in 1878 it found itself still 
unable to enlist the sympathy of the members of the fraternity residing in 
Philadelphia, and the chapter was quietly discontinued. In 1884, through 
the efforts of Alexander A. Sharp, of the Omicron, the Phi Phi was revived ; 
but its members were mainly drawn from other chapters of the fraternity. 
Its last initiation occurred in December, 1887 ; and its existence since then 
has been purely nominal. At the University of Pennsylvania there are 
chapters of Zeta Psi (1850) ; Phi Kappa Sigma (1850) ; Delta Phi (1850) ; 
Delta Psi (1854); Phi Kappa Psi, (1877-89) ; Beta Theta Pi (1880); Alpha 
Tau Omega (1881) ; Phi Gamma Delta (1881); Chi Phi (1883); Psi Upsilon 
(1889).

SOUTHER^ UNIVERSITY. 


In 1856, the Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, founded 
this institution, located at Greensboro, Alabama Prior to the war, it possessed in build¬ 
ings, lands, apparatus and libraries, an equipment valued at $100,000, and a productive 
endowment of more than $200,000. In the financial disasters attending almost all vested 
interests in the South, as a result of the war, the endowment fund was nearly all lost. The 
college did not suspend, but its work was on the most limited scale. It graduated only nine 
students'from i860 to 1867. For the next fifteen years it sent forth an annual average of 
only six alumni. In 1883, Rev. A. S. Andrews, D.D., was placed at its head, and a more 
general interest was secured from among the Methodist people of the State. The enrollment 
for 1883-4 was iq 6j and for the next year 126, followed by 171 foj 1885-6. During the year 
1888 it had increased to 225. The graduating class for 1888 numbered 29. Thus it will be 
seen that the University is more prosperous to-day than at any former time. While the 
increase of students indicates vigorous life, the attempt to secure an endowment shows a lack 
of financial support on the part of the friends of the University. The Trustees and Faculty 
have adopted a settled policy for the future as to all endowment funds. They have placed 
an agent in the field to solicit aid, and are endeavoring to overcome their greatest hindrance 
to success. As yet the amount does not exceed $50,000. 

The main college building is commodious and well adapted to its use. The libraries are 
small, there being only a few thousand volumes. The chemical, philosophical and mathe¬ 
matical apparatus is not in excess of the demand. The different courses of study are the 
Classical, Scientific, Business and Civil Engineering. There are five professors, beside the 
Principal of the Preparatory Department and three tutors. The different professors have 
their own Schools—one of Ancient Languages, another of Modern Languages, etc. The 
whole number of alumni does not exceed 200. Greensboro is a delightful town of about two 
thousand inhabitants, and is easy of access from all parts of the State.

THE CHI CHI. 


THE CHI CHI. 


The Chi Chi was instituted in December, 1879, by William T. Crenshaw, 
an alumnus of the Pi. There had previously been organized, by the advice 
of the faculty of the University and through the instrumentality of George 
W. Tarry and Linton D. Landrum, a local association for the purpose of 
making application for a charter; and a petition, bearing date September 
16, 1879, an d having the signatures of Linton D. Landrum, George W. 
Tarry, Samuel L. Tisdale, Mark H. Moore, John D. Yerby, John H. Epps 
and Archibald A. Jones, was drawn up and forwarded to the Pi Chapter at 
Marion, Alabama. The applicants for admission presented their cause in 
an eloquent and forcible document, and were ably seconded in their efforts 
by a number of the Alabama alumni and by Pi Chapter in a well-worded, 
printed circular letter. The latter chapter was then under the ban of the 
college authorities; and it was urged that the establishment of a chapter at 
Greensboro, only twenty-five miles distant, would be of the greatest assist¬ 
ance to the interests of Sigma Chi at Marion. The petition was granted ; 
and the new chapter immediately grew in numbers and influence, a meeting 
hall being allowed it in the University building. Southern University, 
however, experienced a sudden decline during the session of 1881-2, and 
was almost compelled to close its doors. The members of the fraternity 
abandoned it for other institutions or discontinued their college courses, 
until, finally, during 1882, there was not a Sigma Chi in the University. 
The chapter thus ceased to exist; and no attempt has been made to 
resuscitate it. 

The following fraternities have chapters at Southern University :— 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1878) and (Southern) Kappa Alpha (1882).

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. 


Rev. Henry Durant, a Congregational minister, reached Oakland, California, in May, 
1853, determined upon founding a college at that place. One month after his arrival he 
modestly began by opening a school with three scholars. During the Summer he selected a 
suitable site for a college, secured some money and began to build. He met many financial 
difficulties and overcame them. His college received a charter in 1855, in which it was 
called “ The College of California.” Its progress was slow. Buildings were erected, how¬ 
ever ; and gradually it reached a fair degree of success. Its first class graduated in 1864. In 
1867, upon a suggestion of Governor Low, the trustees donated their site and buildings to 
the State, with the understanding that the State was to organize and put into operation a 
University, which should include a College of Letters, embracing a Classical Course, a College 
of Mines, a College of Civil Engineering, a College of Mechanics and a College of Agri¬ 
culture, all of the same grade and equal to Eastern colleges of like order. The property 
transferred consisted of an entire block in Oakland with the College buildings thereon, a 
library of 10,000 volumes, valuable lots in Berkeley and 112 acres of mountain land, the 
whole estimated to be worth $110,000, after liabilities were discharged. Henceforth the State 
was to maintain it. Four years afterward Congress granted the State 46,080 acres “for the 
use of a Seminary of learning ; ” and the State also received 64,000 acres as a building fund, 
both of which fell to the University. The State also bestowed upon it the 150,000 acres of 
land received from Congress and known as the “Agricultural College Grant,” estimated to 
be worth $750,000. In addition to all the above, the Legislature appropriated $306,661.80. 

In 1868 the University may be said to have opened for work. From 1869 to 1871 it 
went quietly forward. In 1872 the Legislature appropriated $300,000 for buildings. Dr. 
Durant, who for two years had been President, resigned, and D. C. Gilman became his 
successor. 1873 was a prosperous year. Dr. H. H. Toland gave “TolandHall” and its 
site in San Francisco, valued at $75,000, for a Medical College, and this department was at 
once opened. The new buildings at Berkeley were dedicated in this year. The following 
year James Lick bequeathed $700,000 for an Observatory; and G. M. Blake added to the 
domain of Berkeley 10 acres of land, valued at $14,000. The students numbered in 1874 
191, and professors and instructors 23. The next year President Gilman accepted the 
Presidency of Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. John Le Conte became President. The 
Mechanic Arts Building, for which the Legislature appropriated $40,000, was erected in 1876. 
Judge S. C. Hastings gave $100,000 for a Law College, which was opened August 8, 1878. 
The A. K. P. Harmon Gymnasium followed in 1879. The graduates this year numbered 56, 
the largest class sent forth before or since. In 1881 D. O. Mills endowed the chair of Mental 
and Moral Philosophy in the sum of $75,000. Colleges of Pharmacy and of Dentistry have 
been established and are in successful operation. 

The University has had an exceptional history as regards benefactions. They have been 
munificent, various in character and design and wisely proportioned to the rounding out of 
the work of the institution. It is the leading educational institution of the Pacific Slope, 
and will be likely so to remain. The Observatory erected upon Mt. Hamilton, as a result of 
the gift of James Lick, contains the most powerful telescope in the world, the aperture 
being thirty-six inches, enabling its students in Astronomy to scan the depths of the universe 
to a further degree and from a more advantageous position than those of any other institution. 
One of the features of the University is its Museum of Natural History, especially rich and 
full in collections local in their interest. The same can be said of the Mineralogical Museum. 
The Library contains 33,000 volumes, gathered in the brief space of eighteen years. It has 
its own building, erected in 1880, commodious, convenient, well ventilated, flooded with 
light in every corner.

THE ALPHA BETA. 


* 


the /\lpha Beta. 


Sigma Chi first declared her intention of entering the University of 
California at the Grand Chapter of 1872, when Mr. H. S. Dixon, of the Psi, 
was authorized to take the necessary steps to organize a chapter. The 
University was then a struggling but sturdy infant of three summers, and 
did not remove from Oakland to Berkeley until the following year. One 
fraternity had already entered its portals; and circumstances were so 
unfavorable that a little investigation determined Dixon to abandon his 
intention. The entire matter was thus permitted to rest in abeyance until 
1878, when a petition, which, however, was not granted, was presented to 
the fraternity by a number of the most prominent students at Berkeley. 
Then came a period of hostility to fraternities on the part of the better class 
of students at the University. One of the college papers became the organ 
of the anti-fraternity sentiment of the institution; and a vigorous campaign 
was waged against the abuses with which the existing fraternities appeared 
justly to be charged. For several years this open antagonism continued, 
until finally The Occident hauled down its anti-fraternity motto and admitted 
that the causes of its original opposition no longer existed. 

During these years the leaders of Sigma Chi had kept close watch on 
the situation ; and they had become convinced that among this manly oppo¬ 
sition to fraternity abuses would be found the very timber with which to 
build. In this belief they were abundantly justified; for during the year 
1885-6, the charter members of Alpha Beta were found in a little group of 
seven intimate friends, two of whom were editors of The Occident. All of 
these men had been solicited for membership by one or more of the Greek- 
letter societies of the institution; but, having tastes and aspirations in com¬ 
mon, they determined to stand together and to found a chapter that would 
more nearly approach their own ideal of social, literary and fraternal affili¬ 
ation. The result of their determination was a petition to Sigma Chi dated 
May 27,1886, and endorsed by Harry S. Dixon, of Psi, Freeman G. Teed, of 
Kappa, Dr. Joseph S. Eastman, of Chi, and others. The highest testimony 
to the character and ability of the petitioners was given by a large number 
of members whom the fraternity had requested to make personal investiga¬ 
tion at Berkeley ; and the Council was speedily persuaded of the advisability 
of entrusting to their care the interests of Sigma Chi in an institution that 
had long been regarded with favor. The charter of Alpha Beta was granted 
on June 12, 1886; and on June 23, the chapter was formally instituted by 
H. S. Dixon, assisted by Joseph S. Eastman, Bert O. Squier, of Gamma, Orr

and W. W. Haralson, of Pi, and a number of other California Sigmas. 
After the initiation ceremonies, the company adjourned to “ Perrier’s ” in 
San Francisco, where amid toast and song and story and the greatest enthu¬ 
siasm the festivities were prolonged until late in the morning. 

The charter members of the chapter were Thomas B. Sullivan, William 
G. Hay, Charles A. Noble, Joseph R. Haskin, Augustus C. Widber and 
Ernest B. Folsom. They were all members of the freshman class, but 
were pushing, energetic fellows of great popularity and influence in the 
institution. One of the conditions upon which the charter had been granted 
was that a Chapter House should be secured and properly furnished at the 
opening of the next college session ; and the manner in which this pledge 
was kept in the face of the most persistent ill-fortune discloses the secret of 
Alpha Beta’s remarkable success. The chapter started at the outset with 
the determination never to retreat from a position it had once taken ; and 
in spite of the loss of member after member from its active ranks, it has 
successfully maintained one of the most attractive Chapter Houses of the 
institution. At the opening of the session of 1886-7, it occupied a large 
and comfortable house, about two blocks from the University, which it 
furnished in very comfortable style. During this year the chapter furnished 
the representative of the sophomore class on the annual Charter Day, and 
won a number of prizes in the Field Day sports. 

At the very outset Sigma Chi at the University of California discarded 
narrow-minded views of fraternity rivalry and inaugurated an era of liberality 
and good feeling. Its .hospitality has since become proverbial, and has 
doubtless had much to do with its continued success. In its first year it 
kept “ open house ” for all its friends on Class Day; and in May of the fol¬ 
lowing year it gave a reception and dance, for which over one hundred and 
eighty invitations were issued. This was the first event of the sort ever 
given at Berkeley, and was pronounced an unqualified success by the large 
number of delighted guests, among whom were many members of the 
faculty. In all its policy the chapter has been manly and progressive. Its 
standard of membership has been uniformly high ; and it has been dis¬ 
tinguished by its ability and fraternal unity. To these qualities is to be 
attributed its prominence in the Associated Student Body of the University. 
This association, which controls all the interests of the students not under 
the immediate control of the faculty, was formed in 1886-7, its authority 
being largely in the hands of an executive committee of four members, one 
from each of the regular college classes. At the beginning of the second year 
of Alpha Beta’s existence, the secretary of this association and three of the 
members of the executive committee wore the badge of Sigma Chi, the 
fourth member of the executive committee being a lady. Sigma Chi was 
also represented on the committee on athletics and among the editors of 
The Berkeleyan. During this year its members were also placed on the 


482 


THE ALPHA BETA. 


editorial and business staff of the University annual; and Field Day added 
to its list of prizes in athletics. 

The chapter had always met with unusual success in securing the men 
whom it desired as members ; but its aggressive methods at the beginning 
of the year of 1888-9 elicited the admiration of its rivals. During this year 
lawn tennis was introduced into the University on a Sigma Chi tennis court 
at the Chapter House. On Charter Day the social reputation of the chapter 
was sustained with flying colors ; while the last commencement was the 
most brilliant and exciting that Alpha Beta has yet seen ; and the triumphs 
scored were probably the most important. The first of these was a recep¬ 
tion in honor of the graduating members of the chapter, given to its friends 
in the other fraternities; and the second was the annual reception given 
on the evening before Class Day. On the latter occasion, a temporary 
ball-room, forty by eighty feet, was constructed on the grounds connected 
with the Chapter House ; and over one hundred and fifty guests, including a 
large number of the faculty, were present. Mrs. Prof. George H. Howison 
and Mrs. Prof. John Le Conte received the guests ; and two members of 
other fraternities (Beta Theta Pi and Chi Phi) conducted the dancing. 
A special car was run to Oakland at 2 a. m., and arrangements were made 
to keep those who preferred to spend the night in Berkeley. This brilliant 
and successful event was properly crowned with the laurels of Class Day, 
on which the Historian and the Dispensator were members of Sigma Chi. 
With such a history for her three short years, Alpha Beta looks forward to 
the future with the confidence that a consistent adherence to its present 
standard of membership and of action will enable it to improve upon the 
record of its past. 

In spite of its distance from the great body of Sigma Chi, Alpha Beta 
has always been deeply interested in the affairs of the general fraternity. 
By an extensive correspondence and through the large number of visiting 
members whom it has entertained at Berkeley, the chapter has kept well in 
the current of Sigma Chi affairs, and has been active in advancing the 
interests of the fraternity. During the present year it sent one of its mem¬ 
bers to Los Angeles to investigate the petition from the University of 
Southern California; and to his favorable report is largely due the found¬ 
ing of the Alpha Upsilon. 

The rivals of Sigma Chi at the University of California, are Zeta Psi 
(1868); Phi Delta Theta (1873-7, revived 1886); Chi Phi (1875); Delta 
Kappa Epsilon (1876); Beta Theta Pi (1879); Kappa Kappa Gamma 
(1880) ; Phi Gamma Delta (1882), and Phi Delta Phi (1883).

ohio state University. 


The State of Ohio, under the Agricultural Land Grant act of 1862, received six hundred 
and thirty thousand acres of public land from the United States, and in accordance with the 
intention of the act founded this University. It is situated within the corporate limits of the city 
of Columbus and on the north side of the city. It possesses about three hundred and twenty- 
five acres of land, most of which is devoted to agricultural experiments. Forty acres are re¬ 
served for the college grounds, affording ample facilities for military drill, base ball, lawn tennis 
and other athletic sports. There are four buildings especially devoted to the work of the Uni¬ 
versity. The main building is especially noteworthy. It consists of a central building four 
stories above the basement, and from each side there extends a wing four stories high, 
including the mansard roof, and each wing terminates in a cross wing four stories high. A 
tower rises from the central building. The architectural effect is impressive. This building 
contains the President’s room, Chapel, Library, Geological Museum, Art Hall, Lecture rooms, 
Society halls, etc. There is a separate building for the Depaitment of Mechanical Engineer¬ 
ing ; another for General Chemistry, Agricultural Chemistry, Pharmacy and Mining Engi¬ 
neering ; and a fourth for Botany and Horticulture. There are two dormitories for students 
and five houses for professors. There are other buildings suited to the needs of the Univer¬ 
sity farm and the Agricultural Experiment Station. This latter is sustained by appropriations 
from the Government of the United States. In connection with the University the State 
Meteorological Bureau is maintained, directed by the Professor of Physics. Instruction is 
given in military science and tactics, by an officer of the regular army. There is a prescribed 
uniform,, and an hour a day is given to drill. 

Much of the work done in science is performed by the students themselves in the labor¬ 
atories. Experience has so approved this method that the Trustees and Faculty have spared 
no expense in providing the best facilities for the students thus engaged. Eight laboratories 
are in operation—the chemical, the physical, the botanical, the physiological; the mechanical, 
the mining and assay, the pharmaceutical, and that for agricultural chemistry. They are 
fully supplied with desirable apparatus for practical illustration and also original investiga¬ 
tion. The usual degrees are conferred upon such students as have completed the courses in 
Arts, Philosophy and Science, and also upon those completing the technical courses. There 
is no charge for tuition, although there is a term charge of five dollars for incidentals. Stu¬ 
dents of both sexes are received upon equal terms. The library facilities are all that could 
be desired. Besides the University library, the State library, numbering 60,000 volumes, is 
accessible to students, as also the public library of Columbus with its 18,000 volumes. The 
corps of instruction numbers twenty-eight. Some of its members are widely known for their 
work, and, taken as a whole, it is probably equal to that of any institution in the State. The 
University is slowly but surely rising in public favor. The State will continue to deal liberally 
in the matter of appropriations, and the patronage will increase on account of the superior 
advantages afforded. The fund arising from the sale of lands amounts to $538,000, which 
the State holds in trust, and which yields an annual income of $32,270. The State appro¬ 
priation for the past year was $30,000. With these sums, and with the buildings, apparatus 
and other accessories so fully supplied, with an exceptionally well qualified faculty and an 
increasing attendance, the outlook is most promising for the University.

THE ALPHA GAMMA. 


THE /\LPRA G/\MM/\. 


The opening of the college year of 1881-2, found the Ohio State Uni¬ 
versity in a very prosperous condition. In all the departments there had 
been an increase in facilities for instruction; and work was entered upon 
with vim and enthusiasm by both faculty and students. It was a time 
when any worthy enterprise was bound to succeed. There were then but 
two secret societies in the University; and as there was an abundance of 
good fraternity material, little rivalry was exhibited in the securing of can¬ 
didates. During this year it became evident to members of the Sigma Chi 
fraternity that Ohio State University presented a promising field for a 
wide-awake, aggressive chapter; and a movement was inaugurated within 
the fraternity, chiefly through the efforts of Gamma Chapter, toward enter¬ 
ing the institution. The initial movement in the college itself owes its 
origin to Mr. Edmund Smith, of the Gamma. He approached successively, 
Edward Dowsett, Jesse C. Marquardt, Henry K. Terry and George R. 
Twiss, asking them to join with him in an attempt to plant the stand¬ 
ard of his fraternity at Columbus. These four, together with James O. 
Ballard, John C. Eastman and Frank Miller, on February 8, 1882, sent 
in a petition through Gamma Chapter for a charter from Sigma Chi. 
The petition- was not acted upon until about the middle of March ; and 
as it was now near the end of the term, it was decided to postpone the 
initiation of the chapter until after the Spring vacation. 

At the opening of the Spring term, all had returned full of enthusiasm 
and plans for the future elevation of the chapter of which they were to be 
the members. Arrangements had been made by the Gamma at Delaware, 
Ohio, to receive and initiate the new chapter; and accordingly the even¬ 
ing of Saturday, April 21, 1882, found the seven, together with Smith, Jason 
W. Firestone and Lineus B. Kauffman, aboard the train en route for Dela¬ 
ware. The initiation took place in the hall of the Gamma. After Barney 
Burns, then the presiding officer of the chapter, had declared the initiation 
of the candidates to be finished, the new Sigs were marched into the “ front 
parlor ” and seated at the tables upon which had been spread a delicious 
lunch. The members of the Alpha Gamma, after spending an enjoyable 
Sunday with their brothers at Delaware, returned to show the White Cross 
and the Blue and Gold at the University. 

The chapter began work with six members,—one of the original seven 
being called home,—but by the end of the term three additions had been 
made. At the Spring meeting of the Athletic Association of the University,

in 1882, Ballard wore three ribbons. During this year Alpha Gamma 
furnished the historian of the freshman class ; and one of its members was 
a second lieutenant, and another a sergeant in the battalion. 

In the Fall term of 1882, the University opened with a membership of 
340, the largest yet attained; and at the first meeting of the chapter seven 
members were present. Four men were initiated during this year ; and the 
honors taken by members of Sigma Chi were goodly in number. In the 
battalion the chapter had one first and one second lieutenant and two 
corporals ; and in the sophomore class the president and the secretary were 
Sigma Chis. The second annual banquet, which was held during com¬ 
mencement week, was successful in every way and closed a most prosperous 
year for the chapter. 

During the next year Alpha Gamma kept up her steady advance in 
prosperity, and her members won many honors. At the celebration of 
Washington’s Birthday, Sigma Chi was the only fraternity which had an 
orator on the programme. One of the offices in each of the literary 
societies had fallen to her lot; she held the presidency of the Glee Club, 
the vice-presidency of the Athletic Association; and one of her members 
was business manager of the college monthly, The Critic. In the bat¬ 
talion her prominence had increased. In the drill for the Prize Sword, 
offered by the class of’86 to the, best drilled company, the badge of Sigma 
Chi was worn by the captain, the second lieutenant and the first sergeant 
of the victorious cotnpany. During this term two new members were 
initiated. The next term three members were initiated ; and in the Spring 
term two others followed. The college year closed with Alpha Gamma’s 
third annual banquet. 

This was the commencement of 1884, and the successes achieved in the 
Spring term of this year seemed to impart energy to the chapter for the 
work of the Fall. Almost all the members were back and started out with 
a great deal of spirit. After a hard struggle three new members were 
secured and initiated, one of whom had been elected president of the local 
Oratorical Association. During this term and the next, college and frater¬ 
nity spirit ran very high, and Sigma Chi took a place which was envied by 
all. But the next term had even greater honors in store for Alpha Gamma. 
After initiating three men and pledging three others, preparations were 
begun for an Ohio Reunion of Sigma Chi at the time of the Inter-State 
Oratorical Contest. There were about fifty Sigs present, and one of the 
most pleasant and enjoyable times of Alpha Gamma’s existence was finished 
with a banquet at the Park Hotel, at which a great many of Ohio’s honored 
sons and statesmen were present. Their talks and their laughter made this 
occasion one long to be remembered. Soon after this, in a literary contest, 
out of four victorious contestants, three were members of Sigma Chi. The

year closed with the usual commencement banquet and initiation of pledged 
men. 

During the following year Alpha Gamma numbered fifteen members, 
well distributed through the college classes. Three of these were officers 
in the University battalion, and one was president of the Oratorical Asso¬ 
ciation and president of the board of editors of the University annual. In 
social life, also, the chapter displayed considerable activity by giving a 
number of pleasant entertainments to its friends. But the chief distinction 
of this year, was the meeting of the Grand Chapter at Columbus, in Sep¬ 
tember, 1886, under the auspices of the resident alumni and the Alpha 
Gamma chapter. It has been rightly said that few conventions have been 
“ more thoroughly enjoyed, more consistent? with the avowed ideals of the 
order, or more creditable to the fraternity and to the committees of enter¬ 
tainment and reception,”—to all of which praise the members of Alpha 
Gamma, who attended with tireless energy to the countless details, are 
chiefly entitled. It may well be that the chapter felt the reflex influence of 
this convention during the session of 1886-7 ; for during that year it was 
victorious in every contest, winning, among others, the following official 
positions : President of the junior and senior classes, vice-president of the 
local Oratorical Association, treasure^ of the State Oratorical Association, 
editor-in-chief of The Lantern , business manager of The Critic , public 
debater for the Alcyone Anniversary, and adjutant, captain, lieutenant and 
sergeant-major of the University battalion. This record was well sustained 
during the succeeding session, with the presidency of the Alcyone Society 
and of University Day, and prominent positions in the battalion and in all 
the University enterprises. Similar successes waited on the chapter in 
1888-9; and it won the Oratorical Contest and again supplied the presid¬ 
ing officer for University Day. 

Alpha Gamma has maintained a high standard in the selection of its 
men; and by aggressive energy and manly methods has been enabled to 
record many victories over its rivals. Its members who have gone out into 
active life are now reflecting credit upon their chapter, and are loyal in 
their devotion to Sigma Chi. It has not yet established itself in a Chapter 
House ; but toward the close of the session of 1888-9, new and commodious 
quarters were secured, and the chapter now boasts the handsomest frater¬ 
nity hall in Columbus. 

Its rivals are Phi Gamma Delta (1878); Phi Kappa Psi (1880); Phi 
Delta Theta (1883); Chi Phi (1883); Beta Theta Pi (1885).

STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. 


The scope and plan of studies in this institution make it distinctly and essentially a 
school of Mechanical Engineering. It was founded in 1872 by the late Edwin A. Stevens, 
Esq., who left one million dollars for that purpose. His desire was to enable young men to 
fit themselves specially for usefulness in Mechanical Engineering and in those scientific pur¬ 
suits closely allied to and deriving benefits from it. Its plan covers a thorough training in 
Mathematics, elementary and advanced, and their application to mechanical constructions, 
and a systematic course in the theory of Machine Construction. Mechanical Drawing 
receives much time and attention. The use of instruments and colors, Descriptive Geogra¬ 
phy, Shades, Shadows and Perspective, and the Analysis of Mechanical Movements are 
comprised in the course. An extensive system of manual exercises in shop-practice is com¬ 
bined with Experimental Mechanics, and bears the same relation to the departments of 
Engineering, Mechanics and Drawing, as the laboratories do to the class-room work in Physics 
and Chemistry. Physics and Chemistry are made prominent, and are taught in a most thor¬ 
ough and practical manner. The student practices the application of the measurements of 
lengths, angles, volumes, weights and time to the determining of the phenomena of light, 
sound, heat, electricity, and magnetism. Experimental investigation enters into his train¬ 
ing and becomes of great value to him in his professional work as a mechanical engineer. The 
analyzing of the common minerals, metals, ores, slags, coals, gases, waters, etc., receives the 
same practical treatment. The full course occupies the period of four years, each year 
having three regular terms and a supplementary term, during which the sophomore, junior 
and senior classes devote eight hours per day to experimental mechanics and shop-work. 

The Institute is located in Hoboken, New Jersey. The buildings are situated between 
Fifth and Sixth Streets on Hudson Street. The location is a sightly one, overlooking the 
Hudson River. The main building is of stone* and is three stories in height, in shape like 
the letter E, the vertical part being the main building and the three arms being the Chemical 
Laboratory, Machine Shop and Electrical Department, respectively. Athletics receive con¬ 
siderable attention from the students. St. George’s Cricket Grounds, back of Hoboken on 
the meadows, afford facilities for field sports. The first graduates date from 1874. The 
present number is 280. The school is patronized to its full capacity. Applicants for the 
freshman class are selected, until the limit is met, by the faculty, after examination, from 
among the whole number of applicants, on the ground of superior fitness and promise of 
development. The single degree conferred by Stevens Institute of Technology is that of 
Mechanical Engineer, and this only upon its regular graduates, who by their final examina¬ 
tions meet its requirements. One of these is a “Graduating Thesis,” which is expected to 
exhibit the student’s proficiency by designing and describing the construction and management 
of some machine, by planning some manufacturing establishment, giving bills of materials and 
estimates of cost, or by describing some original research, in the course of which he has 
investigated some subject of importance to the profession and obtained new information 
with data capable of practical application in mechanical engineering. It is needless to say 
that the degree of M. E. from this institution indicates more than a terminal flourish, and 
that it is almost a sure passport to professional labor. The corps of professors and instruc¬ 
tors numbers twenty-two.

THE ALPHA DELTA. 


the alpha Delta. 


The opening of the Fall term of 1882 found three Sigma Chis as 
students of Stevens Institute. With characteristic Sigma Chi zeal they 
immediately began the formation of a chapter; and at the session of the 
Biennial Convention in Chicago in 1882, a charter was granted to them and 
their associates under the name of the Alpha Delta. The charter and other 
papers tardily arrived in February, 1883 ; and it was on Tuesday night, 
February 27, that Alpha Delta drew her first breath as a chapter of Sigma 
Chi and took her place as such among the fraternities represented at 
Stevens. The initiatory exercises took place at Busch’s Hotel, Hoboken, 
and were conducted by Freeman G. Teed, of Kappa, and William Paul 
Moore, of Zeta. The charter members were James N. Warrington, of the 
Kappa Kappa, Walter Carroll, of the Gamma Gamma, Walter Clark, of the 
Theta Theta, William Pierce, Frederick Raht and Antonio Aquilera. 

Upon her establishment, Alpha Delta found herself confronted by five 
strong rivals, three of whom were of good age and had a large number of 
alumni. Nothing daunted, however, the members continued an active and 
aggressive policy, and soon brought the chapter to a high position in the 
institution, which has been maintained ever since. The chapter has never 
been large in numbers, but has been distinguished for the ability and fra¬ 
ternal spirit of its men. It has taken a prominent part in the athletics of 
the Institute and in the publication of the college annual, The Bolt. Its 
members have held an unusual number of class offices and have taken many 
of the prizes and honors at Commencement. They have been genial good- 
fellows, popular in the Institute and in the fraternity. In 1886 an enthusi¬ 
astic and thoroughly enjoyable convention of the First Province was held 
with the Alpha Delta at Hoboken. 

At Stevens Institute, Sigma Chi meets the fraternities of Theta Xi (1874); 
Delta Tau Delta (1874); Beta Theta Pi (1875); Alpha Tau Omega (1881-6); 
Chi Psi (1883); and Chi Phi (1883).

University of Nebraska. 


The University of Nebraska stands at the head of the educational system of the State. 
The Common and High Schools find in its work the completion of their own. Through it 
the youth of the commonwealth may secure liberal culture in literature and science free of 
charge for tuition, regardless of sex or race. The Legislature of 1869 granted its charter 
and authorized the establishment of five departments, as follows : A College of Literature, 
Science, and the Arts; an Industrial College, embracing agriculture, practical science, civil 
engineering and the mechanic arts ; a College of Medicine, a College of Law, and a College 
of the Fine Arts. The authority to open these different Colleges was placed in a Board of 
Regents. The Board at once organized the College of Literature, Science and the Arts and 
the Industrial College. The College of Medicine was opened in 1883 ; but for want of a 
State appropriation for its maintenance, it closed in 1887. The other Colleges have not been 
organized. 

The act creating the University required that it should be located at Lincoln, the capital 
of the State. The grounds are within the city and extend over twelve acres. The first 
building was erected in 1870. The main building contains lecture-i-ooms, chapel, library, 
society halls and other apartments. The Chemical Laboratory is a new building, erected 
at a cost of $25,000. It is one of the very best buildings of its kind in the country, and is 
well equipped throughout with the most approved apparatus. The general laboratory is on 
the ground floor, and eighty students may be at work at one time. The qualitative labor¬ 
atory is on the second floor, with accommodations for thirty-two students. This floor has 
other rooms suited to the convenience of the -work done upon it. On the third floor the 
quantitative laboratory is found, and other rooms suited to its needs. The Legislature of 
1887 appropriated $50,000 for the erection of the Industrial College, or General Science 
Building. It will be ready for occupation in 1889. An armory and gymnasium, to be known 
as the Grant Memorial Hall, has just been completed at a cost of $20,000. Connected with 
the Industrial College is a farm of 320 acres. It is in the suburbs of the city, and affords 
facilities for experimental work in connection with the Agricultural Course. 

The resources of the University come mostly from a tax upon the taxable property of the 
State and from revenues derived from land donated by the United States. The amount 
given was 136,080 acres, and will no doubt at no distant day yield a sum large enough to 
meet the wants of the institution. The Regents’ eighth biennial report shows an income of 
$77,854.93. It is safe to say that the University has entered upon a period of prosperity. 
The State, within the last few years, has been disposed to grant appropriations to enlarge its 
facilities and extend its scope of work. Irving J. Manatt, Ph.D., LL.D., is Chancellor. In 
addition there are twenty-four professors, instructors and assistants. The whole number of 
students in all departments, and in the Latin School, is 412.

THE ALPHA EPSILON. 


THE ALPHA EPSILON. 


The establishment of a chapter of Sigma Chi at the University of 
Nebraska is largely the result of the labors of the Hon. Patrick O. Hawes, 
a charter member of the Xi. The application for a charter was drawn up 
September 25, 1882, and was signed by C. Clement Chase, Daniel H. 
Wheeler, Jr., Edson P. Rich, Myron E. Wheeler, William H. Lichty, Frank L. 
Wheeler and Don L. Clark. The petition received the vigorous support of 
the Xi and the recommendations of many well-known alumni, and met 
with but slight opposition. The chapter was formally instituted by the 
initiation of the applicants on January 11, 1883, by Grant Wyatt, of the 
Alpha Eta. After the ceremonies, the newly made Sigmas, together with a 
number of visiting brethren, celebrated the occasion by a banquet at the 
Commercial Hotel. 

The founders of the Alpha Epsilon were choice men, possessing not only 
intellectual ability and aggressive Western force, but also a large amount of 
social polish. They found, however, that the predominant sentiment at the 
University of Nebraska was a certain raw Westernism, which seemed to 
resent the recognition of social distinctions among its students. The 
majority of the undergraduates confederated themselves together in an 
opposition which continued to increase in violence even after the advent of 
a second fraternity at the University. Until recently, this opposition 
furnished most of the spice of the chapter’s life; and the story of its con¬ 
quests of the “Barbarians” are the most interesting passages in its early 
history. In 1884, the fraternities then in the institution, united in forming 
a literary society composed entirely of their members and friends. This 
removed the chief bone of contention—the literary society offices—from 
the arena of political strife ; and the leadership of the anti-fraternity mob no 
longer offered the incentives to ambition which had rendered it attractive 
in the past. The social qualities of the student body also perceptibly 
improved ; and since the advent of other fraternities in 1888, the “ Barbar¬ 
ian ” opposition has given little trouble to the “ Greeks.” 

The chapter continued to follow the policy of its founders, and was 
always able to recruit its ranks with the ablest and cleverest fellows. In 
1885 it leased a suite of four rooms for a term of years and furnished them 
in elegant style. These pleasant quarters it has since been making even 
more attractive; and Alpha Epsilon now possesses a thoroughly comfortable 
home. Membership in the chapter has continued to be a social distinc¬ 
tion ; and the activity of its men in this direction has found expression in

many enjoyable receptions and parties. In February of 1887, a very suc¬ 
cessful banquet of the Sigma Chi alumni of the State was held with the 
Alpha Epsilon at Lincoln, the Governor of the State and the Chancellor of 
the University being among the guests. The chapter has not only been 
successful in its local life ; but it has also taken an active part in the life of 
the fraternity at large. One of its charter members instituted the Alpha Xi, 
at the University of Kansas ; and it has twice filled the position of Grand 
Praetor of its Province. Its past has been a credit to Sigma Chi, and its 
future, in the light of the growing possibilities of the University, is brighter 
than its past. 

At the University of Nebraska, Sigma Chi meets Phi Delta Theta 
(1875-6, revived 1883); Kappa Kappa Gamma (1884); Beta Theta Pi (1888), 
and Delta Gamma (1888).

BELOIT COLLEGE. 


In 1844, seven clergymen coming from Cleveland, Ohio, on the steamer “Chesapeake,” 
discussed the project of establishing a college to meet the needs of the Northwest. As a 
result of their conferring together, several conventions were held in Wisconsin Territory ; and 
the final outcome was that measures were taken to establish Beloit College. The Territorial 
Legislature granted a charter in 1845 5 but the institution was not actually opened until 1847. 
Beloit generously gave a site and erected a building. Before the building was completed the 
freshman class was started under the care of one professor in a hired room. The following 
year two young men, classmates at Yale, came, and the faculty was thereby increased to 
three. In 1850 Rev. A. L. Chapin, a graduate of Yale, assumed the Presidency. 

The College, like all colleges not owing their origin to some great gift or some single 
patron, grew slowly. But wisdom and courage, with a full degree of faith, were possessed 
by those espousing its cause. Buildings arose one after another. The cabinets and 
library and other accessories, gradually grew. The campus extended its limits from ten 
to twenty-five acres, covering some twenty of the peculiar structures made by the Mound- 
Builders. The corps of instructors grew in number; and the attendance of those seeking 
instruction increased until there was at Beloit an institution that had gone very far toward 
meeting the expectations of its founders. The first class graduated in 1851, and had four 
members; and each year since have there gone forth others well equipped for life’s duties. 
The total of graduates is three hundred and eighty-one, some of whom have attained promi¬ 
nence. Among the number is Rev. Edward D. Eaton, D.D., the present President of the 
College, T. C. Chamberlain, LL.D., President of the University of Wisconsin, Rev. James 
W. Strong, D.D., President of Carlton College, and others equally eminent. 

No sketch of Beloit could be complete that did not mention the long and eminently 
successful work of President Chapin. For thirty-six years was he its chief officer. He was 
richly endowed with the rare gifts needed for such a position, and to him much of its success 
must be ascribed. His successor is a man of varied attainments and comes to his work full 
of enthusiasm and energy. It can be said of Beloit that its culture is broad, its teaching 
positive and thorough, and that there is an undertone of Christian feeling running through 
all its work that warrants the giving to it the fullest confidence on the part of those who wish 
their sons to receive a Christian education. The faculty is an able one and presents an 
exceptional record. Dr. Chapin, who began his work in 1850, still teaches. Rev. James 
Emerson, D.D., one of the two Yale men who entered its service in 1848, is still at work. 
Rev. William Porter, D.D., is rounding out his thirty-seventh year, and Rev. James J. Blais- 
dell, D.D., his thirtieth. With these were associated ten younger men. While Beloit has 
given prominence to the classical course as best suited to train young men for the ministry > 
she has gladly set forth a course of philosophy, and made a numerous list of elective studies 
for the junior and senior years. Her library contains 13,000 volumes. In 1888 the endow¬ 
ment fund was about $250,000 ; and the number of students, including the Preparatory School, 
was 265. Co-education has not been adopted. After long opposition the faculty determined 
that it was better to admit Greek-letter societies than to resist the craving of the student 
heart for associated sympathy and culture. The Beloit College Monthly , the second, if not 
the first, college paper published in the United States, still goes forth under the name of 
The Round Table. Athletics are given a proper place as a means of physical culture. Since 
1888 much new influence has been won for the College. Its productive endowment has been 
doubled ; the faculty has been strengthened, and the attendance greatly increased. A fine 
new Academy Building is in process of erection, and a thoroughly equipped modern Science 
Hall is certain to be built within a year.

THE ALPHA ZETA. 


5 10 


THE ALPHA ZETA. 


As a chapter of Sigma Chi, Alpha Zeta was established November 3, 
1882 ; but this post-dates the commencement of her history by more than 
two years. On a gloomy evening in the Fall of 1880, five students of Beloit 
College met in the room of one of their number ; and while without the 
stormy wind whistled through the leafless trees and beat heavily against 
the shutters, within a bright flame was kindled on the altar of fraternal 
fellowship and love. No sooner had the oath of fidelity been taken than a 
committee was appointed to perfect an organization. The society was to 
be very exclusive in its membership, admitting none but men of the highest 
character ; its aims were to be high and pure, its work strong and health¬ 
ful. But the very composition of the original membership contained an 
element of weakness. This was the admission into fellowship of members 
of inter-collegiate fraternities ; but their admission was the sine qua non of 
the society, for all of the founders were or had been members of the Phi 
Kappa Psi. The society existed in a prosperous condition for a time ; but 
the inevitable clash came, and the Alpha Delta Gamma ceased to exist. 
Thus was exhibited the anomaly of two rival bodies composed in part of 
the same membership ; and thus was again demonstrated the futility of all 
attempts to serve two masters. On the ruins of the Alpha Delta Gamma 
was founded the Omega Sigma Theta, or the “ Skull and Bones of Beloit 
College,” with nearly identical membership. Benefiting by experience, 
however, only non-fraternity students were thereafter admitted to member¬ 
ship. The ground lost was soon regained, and the society enjoyed the 
greatest prosperity. Several of the original members still retained their 
membership in Phi Kappa Psi; but, when the issue was raised by that 
body in the Spring of 1882, they all, three in number, chose the “ Skull and 
Bones.” 

There was a strong feeling from the beginning that the society ought 
to be connected with one of the leading inter-collegiate fraternities ; and 
in furtherance of this idea, in the Summer of 1882, a correspondence was 
opened with John G. Wadsworth, of Kappa Kappa Chapter of Sigma Chi. 
In the hands of William A. Knapp matters soon assumed definite shape, and 
the necessary formalities were speedily completed. All arrangements having 
been made, William A. Heath, of the Kappa Kappa, and Albert D. Early, 
of the Omega, instituted the chapter on the third of November, 1882, with 
the following charter members : William A. Knapp, Albert H. Curtis, Carl¬ 
ton M. Bliss, Willis P. Cleveland, John H. Knapp, Jr., Edward H. Baker, 



BELOIT COLLEGE. 


5ii 

William H. Rogers, John R. Norris and Dura M. Woodard. Herbert C. 
Farr, Allen B. Northrop and Clarence S. Pellet, recent initiates of the 
“ Skull and Bones,” were the victims upon whom the newly-made chapter 
practised its first Sigma Chi initiation under direction of Heath and Early. 
The chapter at once took possession of a neatly furnished hall, the situa¬ 
tion of which was romantic enough to suit the wildest fancy. Near by, an 
old and abandoned stone mill gave a sombre and mysterious air to the 
scene ; while beside the door the waters of the mill-race, rejoicing that their 
task of turning the heavy wheels was over, hurried gladly to the river. This 
quaint location and the feeling of secrecy imposed by anti-fraternity laws, 
lent a charm to the chapter life that was missed afterward in more elegant 
quarters and with “ the smile of the faculty brightening our way.” Early 
in the Spring of 1884 the chapter rented a hall in the “ Masonic Block,” 
and fitted it up quite handsomely. The second meeting in the new rooms 
was the occasion of a novel “ house-warming,” when, with the aid of some 
of the Omega brothers, the Alpha Zeta installed the Alpha Lambda Chap¬ 
ter—a chapter that has since been its twin chapter in all points but age. 
Another event made fraternity life during 1884 a remarkable one. Until 
1880 the college government, conservative in all things, had discountenanced 
fraternities. During that year, however, Beta Theta Pi, by the pressure of 
its alumni, was recognized by the faculty after a sub rosa existence of nearly 
twenty years. Phi Kappa Psi was “ recognized ” in the Spring of 1884; 
and Sigma Chi, at the request of certain members of the faculty, presented 
a petition for this purpose in the Fall of the same year, which was granted. 

The year 1885 was one of hard and fruitful work, as a result of which the 
internal machinery of the chapter was more evenly adjusted, and its reputation 
in the College was more firmly established. The work of 1885, more than that 
of any other year, has given shape and idea to Alpha Zeta’s chapter policy. 
The monotony of routine life was broken by an exchange of visits with Alpha 
Lambda and a sleighing party to Janesville, where the chapter was enter¬ 
tained at the home of the brothers Norcross. All of these were events 
worthy of more than ordinary mention; and the recollections of them are 
fresh after the lapse of several years. 

The policy of the chapter to be thoroughly alive and active in all 
branches of college work, may be well illustrated by the record of the fol¬ 
lowing year; and at the risk of criticism we will give the record of 1886 
somewhat in detail. During that year the chapter had the position of 
editbr-in-chief and personal editor of The Round Table for both terms, and the 
local and literary editorship for one term each ; its members also held the 
presidency of the Archaean Union, of the Athletic Association, of the Lawn- 
Tennis Association and of the Alethean Society ; with two seniors it was 
accorded a Philosophical and a Distinguished Oration at commencement; 
with one junior it was accredited an honor at Junior Exhibition and the

presidency of the junior class ; it won the only public sophomore debate of 
the year, took the scholarship prize in the freshman class, sent a man to 
the State Oratorical Contest who took second place, composed one-half of 
the College Quartette, had several men on the base-ball team, won the 
lawn-tennis championship and a majority of the prizes on Field-Day. For 
numerically the weakest chapter in the College and in an institution where 
only fifty per cent, of the students belong to the fraternities, the above 
record is adequate evidence that the policy of Alpha Zeta in the selection 
and training of its members has been a good one. 

The chapter maintained its reputation during 1887, and developed the 
social side of its nature by taking an active part in the organization of a 
toboggan club in the city. The slide was built, the “tobogs” were pur¬ 
chased,—and the club waited for the snow that did not come. The interval 
of waiting, however, was not wasted, but was occupied by a series of parties. 
During the Fall also the chapter combined a four-in-hand ride with a nut¬ 
ting excursion to the home of C. F. Page, ’88. On Commencement Day of 
this year, Alpha Zeta demonstrated in an unusual way its practical interest 
in the College by subscribing the last $600 necessary to complete the 
endowment ($25,000) of an Alumni Professorship. 

The demands of society necessitated an enlargement of quarters ; and 
the year 1888 marked the addition of two large rooms to those already 
occupied by the chapter. The occasion of the “ initiation ” of the enlarged 
suite was memorable, if it was expensive. During the year also a Sigma 
Chi organized and developed the College Glee Club, a club which has 
earned an excellent reputation. The year 1889 is so near us that it has 
hardly passed into history. During this year, however, the chapter has 
acquitted itself creditably ; its members have occupied prominent places in 
the literary, athletic and social life of the College ; and to two of its mem¬ 
bers belongs the honor of having, almost unaided, published the first col¬ 
lege annual. 

At Beloit College Sigma Chi meets chapters of Beta Theta Pi (i860), 
and Phi Kappa Psi (1881).

STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. 


The Legislature of the State of Iowa passed in 1847 an act to locate and establish a 
State University ; but for more than a decade thereafter nothing was done towards carrying 
out the intent of the act. In 1858 its location at Iowa City was determined, and steps taken 
which ended in its being opened for students on September 19, i860. It began with three 
departments, Preparatory, Normal and Collegiate. In 1868 the Law School in operation at 
Des Moines became a part of the University, and was transferred to Iowa City. A Medical 
Department was founded in 1870, and a Homoeopathic Medical Department was added in 
1877. The Dental Department followed in 1882, and the Pharmaceutical in 1885. The 
Normal and Preparatory were discontinued in 1873 and 1879 respectively, leaving in opera¬ 
tion at this time six departments. 

It is a State institution in all respects, and is governed by a Board of Regents, of which 
the Governor of the State is chairman. In the Collegiate Department four courses of study 
are open to the student—Classical, Philosophical, Scientific and Engineering. Instruction 
in Military Science and Tactics is given by an officer of the regular army detailed for that 
purpose. The male students are formed into four companies of infantry and a section of 
artillery, the whole composing the College Battalion. A brass band composed of students, 
connected therewith, is said to be second to no other in the State. The buildings are five in 
number, one of which in former days was the State Capitol. The ground upon which they 
stand is located in the centre of Iowa City. 

Some thirty professors occupy the chairs in the six different departments. There are 
besides some twenty instructors. Among the professors are a number of men of extended 
reputation. Dr. Charles A. Schaeffer, late Dean of Cornell University, is the President. He 
is especially well qualified for his place, young, active and progressive. The alumni roll 
contains in all the departments the names of two thousand four hundred and sixty-nine 
graduates. It may be said to be supplied with all the needed accessories for successful work. 
All needed money is freely given by the people ; and in this respect it stands alone among 
the educational institutions within the State. At the present time, however, it cannot be said 
to receive the full patronage of the people of Iowa. Its management during a part of its 
past history has not been faultless, although its future is more inspiring.

THE ALPHA ETA. 


5i8 


THE ALPHA ETA- 


The early Winter of 1881-2 saw the students of Iowa State University 
harboring but two fraternities and a single sorosis. The pins emblematic 
of the former had long glittered on the vests of members of Beta Theta Pi 
or Delta Tau Delta without creating a ripple of envy or discontent in the 
non-fraternity circles of the college ; and the fraternities had never intruded 
within the pale of oratorical contest or society election. Fraternity feeling 
slept; and the new member of either of these fraternities became such as 
a matter of course, either having been advised to enter one or the other by 
friends or relatives, or having gravitated into the society of its members 
until admission was not a matter of remark. So unnoticed were the 
“ Greeks ” that many of the brightest and most desirable men in the Uni¬ 
versity never thought of joining a fraternity or of seeking the company of 
their members. Such was the situation of affairs when, in the Fall of 1881, 
two ambitious students vigorously agitated the question of organizing a new 
fraternity in the University. They carefully selected the leading non-fra¬ 
ternity students, and succeeded in getting together an informal association 
of fifteen men, who signed a petition to the fraternity its organizers desired 
to join. 

In the meantime, however, a number of the best men in the association 
became convinced that their organization contained uncongenial elements, 
and that they did not care to associate upon terms of fraternal intimacy 
with those who had originated the project or with some of those whom they 
had selected. Accordingly when Thomas B. McAuley suggested that they 
withdraw before any action could be taken on their petition, and form a 
party which could be relied upon for congeniality, the suggestion met with 
hearty approval. The desirable elements of an ideal fraternity chapter 
were carefully discussed, and eight of the fifteen were chosen as the men 
with whom to start. McAuley had become acquainted with a number of 
members of Sigma Chi and had formed a high opinion of their fraternity. 
His investigations and those of his associates speedily convinced them 
that it would be far more desirable to secure a charter from it than to 
press the petition they had already signed, but to which no answer had yet 
been given. They therefore wholly withdrew from the original petition; 
and on January 25, 1882, a new petition to Sigma Chi was drawn up and 
forwarded to Charles H. Enderton, of the Xi, with whom a correspondence 
had previously been opened. The organizers of the original movement, 
who were thus excluded, did not secure the charter they had sought, but 
subsequently succeeded with a petition to Phi Delta Theta. 



STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA.

The new chapter of Sigma Chi,—for such it became,—was chartered as 
the Alpha Eta, and was instituted on March 2, 1882, by Enderton, under 
commission from the Grand Council. Its charter members were Stephen 
M. Eaton, Thomas B. McAuley, Frederick Ogle, Frank B. Smith, James A. 
Miller, William T. Shepherd, Grant Wyatt and Timothy Murphy. They 
were men of the highest standing in the University; and the chapter was 
at once recognized by the existing fraternities, the Delta Tau Delta cour¬ 
teously granting the use of its hall for the purposes of the installation. At 
the banquet immediately following these ceremonies, the success of the 
Alpha Eta seemed assured; and within a few weeks its members had ex¬ 
hausted their ingenuity on the initiation of two neophytes. From this time 
until the Spring term of 1882, the chapter devoted itself to the work of 
internal organization ; and through earnest and hearty work it won the suc¬ 
cess to which it was entitled. At the session of the Grand Chapter held 
that year, Alpha Eta was complimented by the election of her delegate as 
Grand Custos of the fraternity, a position to which a younger member of 
the chapter subsequently succeeded. 

The increase in the number of fraternities had stirred up an active 
rivalry in college politics; and Alpha Eta soon discovered that she held 
the balance of power in both literary societies of the University. Her men 
were the brilliant and aggressive fellows of the institution ; and for several 
years their dashing and thoroughly independent policy kept them at the 
front in every student enterprise. Unfortunately, however, the graduation 
of the class of 1883 took from the chapter not only a large number of its 
members, but also much of its fraternity spirit; and the failure of several 
of the lower classmen to return at the opening of the session of 1883-4 was 
a blow from which the chapter never fully recovered. It subsequently had 
a number of the ablest and most popular fellows in the University, and con¬ 
tinued to maintain a leading position among its rivals; but the old vim and 
enthusiasm was gone. Its men were elected to the places of honor in the 
institution ; it distanced its rivals in the race for desirable candidates, and 
in the Fall of 1886 it occupied and furnished the finest suite of fraternity 
rooms at Iowa City. 

However, just at this time, when the chapter appeared to be renewing 
the life and vigor of its earlier days, the University itself began to de¬ 
cline. The management of the institution became involved in a series of 
unfortunate quarrels of a political and personal nature; and the class of 
students in attendance very perceptibly deteriorated. The chapter did not 
scrutinize its initiates with proper care, and soon was forced to recognize 
the gravity of its error, which had led to discouragement and to internal 
dissension. The Grand Council promptly instituted an investigation, and 
adopted decisive measures. Its representatives who visited Iowa City found 
the atmosphere of the University decidedly unfavorable to a healthy frater-

THE ALPHA ETA. 


nity life, and severely criticised the prevailing tone and temper of the local 
chapters. The Grand Council was convinced that the highest interests of 
Sigma Chi would be best subserved by quietly discontinuing the active ex¬ 
istence of the chapter until the institution had recovered from what was 
believed to be only a temporary depression. The charter was not with¬ 
drawn ; but no further initiations were made, and the men who had shown 
themselves unworthy of the fraternity were promptly expelled. The scan¬ 
dals of the University management subsequently resulted in a legislative 
investigation and a bitter fight. Whatever may have been the merits of the 
controversy, its settlement appears to have resulted to the advantage of the 
institution, which is not only rapidly recovering its lost ground, but is appar¬ 
ently entering its period of greatest prosperity. Should the present indi¬ 
cations continue, the Alpha Eta will doubtless be reestablished on an active 
and permanent basis. 

The following fraternities have established chapters at Iowa State Uni¬ 
versity: Beta Theta Pi (1866); Phi Kappa Psi (1867-78, revived 1887); 
Phi Gamma Delta (1873-4); Delta Tau Delta (1880); Phi Delta Theta 
(1882); Kappa Kappa Gamma (1882).

1 






























MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. 


The origin of this Institute was due to a paper written by Professor William B. Rogers, 
entitled, “ Objects and Plan of an Institute of Technology, including a Society of Arts and 
a School of Industrial Science.” From this a charter was projected, and the same was 
granted by the Legislature of Massachusetts in an act bearing date April io, 1861. The 
threefold plan outlined in the paper was preserved. Of the three parts of the Institute, the 
Society of Arts was first organized, and meetings are regularly held twice a month from 
October to May inclusive. The objects are to advance the practical sciences and to aid in 
the development of them as applied to Arts, Agriculture, Manufactures and Commerce. The 
School of Industrial Science was opened in February, 1865, in temporary rooms in the Mer¬ 
cantile Building, Boston, with twenty-seven students, fourteen of whom graduated in 1868. 
Its first building, now known as the Rogers Building, was occupied by the Chemical Depart¬ 
ment in 1866. Two subsidiary Schools have been organized and operated by the corporation 
of the Institute—one, the Lowell School of Practical Design, and the other, the School of 
Mechanic Arts. The former dates from 1872, the latter from 1876. The Museum of Arts 
has taken less formal outline. No inconsiderable foundation for this department, however, 
has been made by collections, varied and valuable. 

Four buildings are now occupied—the Rogers Building, a new building devoted to 
Chemistry, Physics and kindred departments, a building mainly devoted to work in the 
Mechanic Arts, and a Gymnasium and Drill Hall. A corps of ninety-four professors, 
instructors and lecturers, at the head of which is Francis A. Walker, Ph.D., LL.D., imparts 
instruction. Outside the Lowell School of Practical Design and the School of Mechanic 
Arts, the School of Industrial Science, during the year ending 1888, enrolled 720 students. 
In 1866 there was an attendance of 72, in 1876 of 255, in 1886 of 609, and in 1888 of 720; 
and this increase in numbers has been attained at a time when the standard of admission has 
been gradually raised. No institution in the land ranks higher than this one in the special 
field which it has taken for its own. Nine regular courses of study, each covering four years, 
have been established. There are also special courses covering from three to five years. 

The Institute richly deserves a heavy endowment. Richard Perkins, of Boston, in 1886, 
bequeathed it $100,000. The State conditionally granted it a similar amount. Another 
$100,000 has been contributed by friends. This practically sums up its endowment. Its 
regular fee for tuition is $200 per annum, yielding a revenue of nearly $150,000 the past year. 

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology may justly be said to stand first among Tech¬ 
nological Schools in this country. It has the largest corps of instructors and the largest 
number of students ; and the latter have won for themselves and their Alma Mater a reputa¬ 
tion for thoroughness that secures for them the first place in their different fields of labor. 
The applications for students graduating in the Technical Courses have been at many times 
greater than could be met. In Chemistry and Civil Engineering especially the demand far 
exceeded the supply. The success attending the Institute has been phenomenal; and it has 
been well deserved.

THE ALPHA THETA. 


THE /\LPHA THETA. 


Owing to the absence of dormitory buildings and the consequent scat¬ 
tering of the students throughout the city of Boston and its suburbs, the 
social side of college life was formerly little cultivated at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology. Prior to 1881, a number of fraternal societies 
were started among the students; but with one exception they were local 
in their nature, and their members were drawn almost wholly from some 
single department or class. The exception was Chi Phi, a chapter of which 
was founded in 1873, only t° meet a natural death in 1876. In the Fall of 
1881, an attempt was made to organize a society, which was to be local but 
was not to be confined to any one department. The effort was unsuccessful; 
but two of its originators happened, during the Thanksgiving recess, to meet 
in New York some members of the Omega Chapter of Sigma Chi, with 
whom they discussed fraternity questions. Upon their return to Boston, 
they continued the discussion among their friends, with the result that on 
February 17, 1882, a petition was presented to the fraternity by Thomas C. 
du Pont, Robert B. Moore, Edgar C. Hillyer, Daniel A. Campbell, Frank E. 
Johnson, Henry F. Baldwin and Frederick O. Harriman. Within a month 
a favorable answer had been returned ; and on March 22, 1882, the Alpha 
Theta Chapter was formally instituted with the seven petitioners and Winthrop 
Alexander and Herbert T. Bardwell as charter members. The ceremonies 
of initiation, followed by a banquet, took place at the Hotel Brunswick, and 
were conducted by Orlo D. Skinner and William B. Myers, of the Phi. 

Until November of that year, meetings were regularly held at the rooms 
of different members; and after November the chapter met in Berkeley 
Hall for several years. The fraternity was then, and has always since been, 
well represented at Harvard University by members of various chapters, 
who have been thorough Sigmas ; and their experience in fraternity affairs 
has been of the greatest value to the Alpha Theta, which at once cultivated 
their acquaintance and requested their advice. The superior advantages 
of the Institute for technological training have also attracted a great many 
members of Sigma Chi from other colleges ; and they have become influ¬ 
ential and valuable members of the Alpha Theta. Owing to these relations 
with the fraternity at large and especially to the character and plans of its 
founders, the success of the chapter was assured from the beginning. These 
influences also have led its members to take an active interest in the entire 
fraternity, in recognition of which the Grand Chapter of 1888 elected one 
of its members Grand Praetor of the First Province, a position which he 
now fills.

The Alpha Theta early adopted the policy of avoiding undergraduate 
politics ; and the positions which its members have filled have not been the 
result of political combinations. It has always taken an active interest in 
athletics and all other student enterprises. It has furnished a goodly num¬ 
ber of the prize-winners and a large proportion of the officers of the 
Athletic Association. Its men have been managers and members of the 
base-ball and foot-ball teams, editors of the Institute journals and of the 
college annual; and many of them have been chosen as officers of their 
respective classes. When the Institute won the championship of the East¬ 
ern Inter-Collegiate Foot-ball League, in 1887-8, the captain and four 
members of the team were members of Sigma Chi. A Sigma Chi anchored 
a “ Tech.” tug-of-war team against Harvard’s winning Mott Haven team, and 
won by three inches ; and many other victories over Harvard were won by 
the strength and skill of the boys of Alpha Theta. Each of the chapter’s 
anniversaries has been celebrated with an elaborate .chapter dinner, usually 
held at Young’s Hotel, at which all of the members of Sigma Chi in the 
neighborhood of Boston join in an evening of good-fellowship and fun. 
These occasions are looked forward to with the highest anticipations and 
are remembered with the greatest pleasure by all who have had the good 
fortune to attend. 

In the Fall of 1886 Alpha Theta leased an excellent suite of apartments 
near the Institute, the rooms of which were elegantly furnished with the 
view of making them as comfortable and home-like as possible. In 1887 
the chapter removed to Oxford Terrace, where it found even better 
accommodations; and in 1888 these rooms were given up for a larger suite 
at the Hotel Clifton, where most of the members now live together in the 
nearest approach to a Chapter House which Boston rents will permit, at 
least until the alumni roll is considerably larger. These rooms are very 
attractively and appropriately furnished. 

For the past six years the average annual membership of Alpha Theta 
has been fifteen, varying from eleven to nineteen during that time. They 
have been talented, congenial fellows; and they have built up a strong and 
vigorous chapter, abundantly able to retain the first place in the rapidly 
increasing rivalry of the Institute. For the success of Sigma Chi has been 
followed by the establishment of chapters of Theta Xi (1885); Alpha Tau 
Omega (1885-7); Delta Tau Delta (1889); Phi Gamma Delta (1889), and 
Delta Psi (1889).

ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. 


This institution is located at Bloomington, Illinois, a city of 25,000 inhabitants. It is 
fortunate in its site. No more healthful or beautiful situation could have been chosen. Its 
organization dates from the year 1850. In that year a number of the leading citizens of the 
place agitated the founding of a university in their midst, to be under the control of the 
Methodist Church, although open to students from all religious denominations upon equal 
terms. In the Winter of i85o-’5i, a preparatory school was opened in the basement of the 
Methodist church, with Rev. R. Andrus as principal. In July following, a second professor 
was secured ; and one year thereafter Rev. John Dempster, D.D., was added to the corps of 
teachers. One graduate composed its class for 1853. 

Financial support had been sparingly given during these years, and the institution 
became involved in debt. In 1855 the faculty, as a result, resigned. The school was dis¬ 
continued ; and the building, which had been so far advanced as in part to be occupied, was 
sold under a mechanic’s lien. In 1857, under a new charter and a new Board of Trustees, 
the building was redeemed and completed, and the school reopened. Its professors num¬ 
bered three and its students seventeen, the latter growing to sixty during the year. In i860 
the faculty numbered five and the students over ninety. From i860 to 1865 its growth was 
slow. During this period, however, it freed itself from debt; and in 1866 some $54,000 were 
raised as an endowment, which, added to funds on hand, made the total endowment at that 
time $79,000. This was the centennial year of Methodism in America, and this institution 
received a portion of the centennial gifts. Its apparatus, museum and library were all 
remembered. In 1868 a larger building was needed to accommodate the increased number 
of students. Friends subscribed $30,000 ; and with this the trustees erected a building 70 by 
140 feet, five stories high,—the basement of stone, the second, third and fourth stories of 
brick, and the fifth a mansard. In 1870 ladies were admitted, and twenty-five were at once 
enrolled. 

The University consists of Collegiate, Law and Musical Departments. The Collegiate 
has three courses, each covering four years, a Classical, a Latin-Scientific and a Scientific. Its 
faculty now numbers seven. The College of Law has the same number of instructors. The 
College of Music is intended to be more than a Department. Its courses are full and cover 
a period of three years. Connected with the University is a “College of Post-Graduates 
and Non-Residents,” in which courses of study are prescribed and examinations are held 
leading to various degrees. Four hundred and seventy matriculates have entered these 
courses during the last seven years. The whole number of students in the University proper 
for the last year was 389. Rev. W. H. Wilder, D.D., an alumnus of 1873, is President of 
the University.

THE ALPHA IOTA. 


THE ALPHA IOTA. 


The Alpha Iota of Sigma Chi was instituted at the Ashley House, 
Bloomington, Illinois, on Saturday evening, May 19, 1883. Its charter 
members were Hamlin C. Eddy, William H. Underwood, Leon L. Loehr, 
Wallace D. Foster, Samuel R. Norton, Charles M. Barickman, William D. 
Jones, Elbert H. Alford, Charles N. Achison and Albert O. Woodworth. The 
formation of a chapter had been agitated during the preceding term ; and 
a correspondence had been carried on between George P. Merrick and 
Hamlin C. Eddy, both members of the Omega, Merrick being then Grand 
Quaestor of the fraternity, and Eddy a student of the Illinois Wesleyan Univer¬ 
sity. Merrick was favorably impressed with the representations of Eddy; and 
toward the close of the Winter term he went from Evanston to Bloomington 
to make a personal investigation. He found an enthusiastic group of men 
with their hearts set upon a charter from Sigma Chi; and he became con¬ 
vinced that it was an opportunity the fraternity would do well to accept. 
He assisted them in drawing up a petition and subsequently advocated its 
acceptance. The charter was soon granted; and on May 19, 1883, a dele¬ 
gation of Illinois Sigmas visited Bloomington to initiate the chapter. The 
party consisted of George P. Merrick, Frank T. Andrews and Ruter W. 
Springer, of the Omega, and Will A. Heath of the Kappa Kappa. The 
parlors of the Ashley House had been secured for the occasion; and after 
the ceremonies of initiation had been thoroughly attended to, all adjourned 
to the dining hall, where an excellent banquet was enjoyed, with Captain 
Francis J. Fitzwilliam, of the Gamma, at the head of the table. 

The new chapter acquitted itself with credit and won many of the laurels 
of the University. A hall was secured in the central part of Bloomington 
and was furnished in comfortable style. Its rivals had long been established 
and possessed the advantages which age confers. Nevertheless, the Alpha 
Iota, by consistent adherence to a more critical standard of membership, 
was soon able to compete successfully against these odds. It took a prom¬ 
inent part in all undergraduate affairs ; and the merits of its men won recog¬ 
nition in the University. For five years its annual membership averaged 
fifteen, many of whom were won after exciting contests with its rivals. 

In 1885, by petition to the Board of Trustees the chapter obtained a 
very desirable hall in the Preparatory Building. It began also to take a 
more active interest in general fraternity affairs. It recognized that the 
standards of the local fraternity system were not those by which its own 
work should be measured ; and each year has marked a perceptible advance.

Its requisites for membership have become more critical, and it has sought 
to accomplish more and more in the development of its individual members. 
The result of this progressive policy has naturally been the strengthening 
of the chapter as a whole. It has made itself both feared and respected in 
the local battles of the University ; and its members are fond of rehearsing 
many a “ famous victory,” such as that over the combined forces of 
its rivals in the struggle for supremacy in the Oratorical Association 
during the past year, or the success of Potter in the local Oratorical Con¬ 
test during the last commencement. Its anniversaries have been cele¬ 
brated with appropriate banquets, some of which have been quite elaborate ; 
and many pleasant entertainments have been given to and by its lady 
friends. Its record in the journalistic matters of the University, in the 
literary societies and in the class-room has been uniformly high and worthy 
of more extended comment than can be given here. Its most encouraging 
feature, however, has been its steady growth in the more unobtrusive phases 
of genuine fraternity work. During the past year it has probably pursued 
a more conservative policy in selecting its men and a more aggressive policy 
in its chapter work than ever before ; and every indication points to a suc¬ 
cessful future. 

The Illinois Wesleyan University has contained chapters of Phi Gamma

HILLSDALE COLLEGE. 


This institution had its origin at Spring Arbor, Michigan, and was there known as 
Michigan Central College. In 1844 the Michigan yearly meeting of the Free Will Baptist 
denomination voted to establish it. It was chartered in 1845. In 1855 it was removed to 
Hillsdale, a flourishing city in Southern Michigan, and rechartered under its present name. 
In 1874 a portion of the College buildings were burned, but they were rebuilt and improved 
shortly after. There are five departments of instruction,—the Academical, the Theological, 
the Musical, the Department of Art and the Commercial Department. Instruction is given 
by seven professors and fourteen instructors. In the Academical Department there are three 
courses, a classical, a scientific and philosophical and a normal. The theological course 
covers three years. The Musical and Art Departments are well attended. 

The College is open to students of both sexes and all nationalities. It was among the 
very first institutions to admit negroes to the class-rooms. The catalogue for 1887-8 showed 
an attendance of 523 ; and they were apportioned as follows: seniors, 17 ; juniors, 14 ; 
sophomores, 36 ; freshmen, 45 ; preparatory, 138 ; normal, 145 ; theological, 21 ; musical, 86, 
and art, 95. From this it appears that about one-fifth of the students are in the college 
classes proper. The attendance at the present time has increased. It has a very large local 
patronage. The expense of attending the school is very moderate. The endowment is 
about $200,000. 

The buildings are situated upon a commanding site, overlooking the town. They are 
five in number and well suited to their different purposes. Besides the necessary halls, labora¬ 
tories and class rooms, they afford rooms for many of the students. It is strictly a denomi¬ 
national college, yet open to all who desire to attend it. Probably at no time in its history 
has it had a larger attendance or a more promising future.

THE ALPHA KAPPA. 


THE /\LPHA KAPPA. 


Alpha Kappa of Sigma Chi was founded June 3, 1883. In its local 
aspect its origin was the outgrowth of necessity. At the time its petition 
was signed, two fraternities, one of several years standing, the other of a 
few months existence, were engaged in a fierce rivalry which threatened the 
overthrow of one of the most popular literary societies of Hillsdale College. 
With no selfish motives, the charter members of the Alpha Kappa resolved to 
unite in a third organization. A local society was first formed ; and, 
although other fraternities offered it charters, an application to Sigma Chi 
was determined upon. By the authority of the Grand Council, Thompson 
Arnold of the Xi, visited Hillsdale and .made an examination into the stand¬ 
ing of the petitioners and the condition of the College. The result of his 
investigations was favorable to the establishment of the chapter; and in a 
short time he returned with the proper documents and initiated the follow¬ 
ing as charter members of the Alpha Kappa : Charles W. Laverty, Charles 
E. Robertson, Frank M. Kerry, Charles Nixon, Carey W. Dunton, Justin H. 
Wixom, Benjamin J. Boutelle and Edgar C. True. 

The affairs of the fraternity were at that time conducted under the 
transitional government which preceded the adoption of the present con¬ 
stitution. It was largely an experiment; and its governmental machinery 
did not always run smoothly or efficiently. Owing to some of its imperfec¬ 
tions or to the oversight of one of its officers, the Hillsdale petition was not 
properly presented to the fraternity; and many chapters were surprised to 
learn that a charter had been granted. However, the Alpha Kappa threw 
itself into the work of the fraternity at large with enthusiastic interest; it 
was prompt in the fulfillment of every duty; and the fraternity acquiesced 
in the action of the Grand Council. The establishment of Sigma Chi 
restored harmony in the literary societies and instilled into the student 
sentiment of Hillsdale College a spirit of fairness hitherto unknown. For 
three years the Alpha Kappa flourished. It had a large membership and 
was successful in the competition with its local rivals; but at the close of 
the session of 1885-6 the Grand Council decided to withdraw the charter 
from the College and to discontinue the chapter. 

Hillsdale College contains chapters of Delta Tau Delta (1867); Kappa 
Kappa Gamma (1880), and Phi Delta Theta (1882).

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- 


The University of Wisconsin, located on the south bank of Lake Mendota and within 
the limits of the city of Madison, was incorporated by the Territorial Legislature in 1838, 
and a Board of Regents was duly appointed. Congress made it a land grant of 46,080 acres 
and in 1859, 46,080 acres more. The Board of Regents did nothing until 1848 toward 
organizing the University. From that date its history is divided into two distinct periods. 
The years prior to 1866 were years of trial and adversity. At that time it had graduated 
only 58 students, and had not received a dollar from the State or City. From its lands only 
$500,000 were realized; whereas, if sold under less necessitous circumstances, they would 
have yielded several millions. It graduated its first class of two in 1854. In 1866 it was 
reorganized and fell heir to the “Agricultural Land Grant” under the act passed by Con¬ 
gress July 2, 1862, covering no less than 240,000 acres. From the date of its reorganization 
it has had a prosperous career ; and the State has, with great liberality, met all its wants. 

The same opportunities are afforded young women as young men. The attendance has 
been steadily on the increase during the last few years. Its Collegiate Department is 
exceptionally full. The catalogue issued in 1888 shows 524 students enrolled in the College 
of Arts and Letters, and 113 in the College of Law. The faculty of the College of Arts and 
Letters numbers 41 professors and instructors, and of the College of Law 7 professors. There 
are eleven buildings, fully equipped, ranging in cost from $10,000 to $250,000 each. The 
campus and experimental farm contains 245 acres. Upon the farm are buildings involving 
thousands of dollars in their construction. Taken as one whole the educational facilities 
afforded could scarcely be duplicated by an expenditure of a million of dollars. Washburn 
Observatory is a monument to the liberality of the late Gov. C. C. Washburn. He expended 
$43,000 upon it. The equatorial telescope has an aperture of 15.56 inches and a focal length 
of 243 inches. The Students’ Observatory is a separate building, separately equipped. 

For the study of general and applied science the facilities are probably without an equal 
in the West. The new Science Hall has a magnificent equipment. The building is 202 feet 
front, with a backward extension on each end of 126 feet, three stories above the basement. 
It is practically fire proof and represents an expenditure of $225,000. A fund of $50,000 is 
at the disposal of the regents for further apparatus, as needed. The Chemical Laboratory is 
another fine building, with a frontage of 148 feet and a depth of 48 feet,—having two stories and 
a basement. The Mechanical Building affords opportunity for instruction in industrial pur¬ 
suits. It has a machine room 78x41 feet, equipped with five engine lathes and much corre¬ 
sponding machinery ; a carpenter shop, 44X39 feet; a forge room, 24X26 feet; a wood 
work room, 45X44 feet; and a pattern room, 30X32 feet, all fully furnished with requisite 
tools. The power is supplied by a fifty horse power automatic engine. The Library Build¬ 
ing, built of buff sandstone, is of modern Gothic style of architecture, has a capacity for 
60,000 volumes and cost $45,000. Ladies’ Hall was erected at a cost of $50,000, to afford 
home accommodations for female students. It has ample apartments for sixty students. 

The standard courses of letters are embraced in the College of Letters, while the College 
of Arts embraces the general scientific course and special courses pertaining to that depart¬ 
ment. The College of Law, besides the usual instruction, gives its students opportunities of 
observing the presentation of cases by the best legal talent in both the State and United 
States Courts, which are held in Madison. The Agricultural Department is divided into two 
sections—one for instruction and the other experimental. The farm, with its experimental 
grounds and buildings, adjoins the University grounds on the west.

THE ALPHA LAMBDA. 


THE ALPH/\ LAMBDA. 


‘‘Extension” was one of the subjects discussed at the informal con¬ 
vention of the Northwestern chapters, which was held with the Omega at 
Evanston, Illinois, in January of 1884; and the University of Wisconsin 
was one of the institutions upon which the expression of opinion was 
entirely unanimous. The presiding officer of that convention learned that 
Albert D. Currier, of the Omega, had paid several visits to Madison, and 
had a number of friends in the chapter of Chi Psi already located there. 
He at once urged upon Currier that he should pay his friends a visit, and 
learn by personal investigation what could be done to establish a chapter 
of Sigma Chi. Currier entered into the project with great interest, and a 
line of action was carefully mapped out. Almost immediately after the 
adjournment of the convention he went to Madison and skillfully investi¬ 
gated the situation. He learned that there was a little group of intimate 
friends in the sophomore class, who were being looked upon with envious 
eyes by the fraternities of the University, but who had declined the invita¬ 
tions that had been proffered them. He took occasion to meet the mem¬ 
bers of the various fraternities, and noted their favorable opinions of these 
men. He also ascertained that among the senior law students there was a 
man upon whom the “Greeks” of the institution had lavished all their 
blandishments in vain, and among the seniors of the Academic Department 
one of the leading scholars of the University, popular and highly respected 
among his fellow students, but who had never connected himself with a 
Greek-letter fraternity. Currier soon satisfied himself that if these men 
could be united in a chapter, Sigma Chi would be able to start its career at 
the University of Wisconsin upon an admitted equality with the best frater¬ 
nity chapter the institution contained. He subsequently discovered that 
the men he had in view were already warm personal friends ; and the 
project of a new chapter was practically accomplished. They had their 
cherished ideal of college brotherhood ; and in Sigma Chi. they saw the 
promise of its realization. They at once assumed the aggressive ; and a 
meeting was arranged to discuss the preliminary movements toward pro¬ 
curing a charter. 

In order to avoid all suspicion, Currier returned to Evanston; but on 
the night of February 9, accompanied by Dr. Frank T. Andrews, of Omega, 
he met the four sophomores already referred to at Oregon, a little village 
near Madison. Here a petition was drawn up and signed by Charles A. 
Armstrong, Edward O. Zwietusch, Robert C. Spencer, Jr., and Albert T. 



UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.

Schrceder. The following morning at Madison, William B. Sterling attached 
his signature ; and the name of Olin B. Lewis was added shortly after. The 
petition received the earnest support of the Omega and the Chi, and a 
charter was promptly granted. The year was rapidly drawing to a close, 
and preparations were hastened for the installation of the chapter. On the 
22d of March, 1884, Albert D. Currier, Frank M. Elliot and Albert D. Early, 
of the Omega, went to Beloit, Wisconsin; and there in the halls of the 
Alpha Zeta, four of the charter members of the Alpha Lambda Chapter were 
initiated. The four, who alone were able to be present on that occasion, 
were Lewis, Schroeder, Zwietusch and Spencer. The festivities closed 
with a banquet, and the event was an unqualified success. Charles A. 
Armstrong was initiated on April 5, following; and on April 20 the chapter 
publicly displayed its badges and received congratulations from all sides. 

Meetings were held during the remainder of the term in the hall of 
the Knights Templar. Joseph W. Vernon was initiated; and the chapter 
zealously devoted itself to the work of internal organization. Sterling left 
the University in June ; but Lewis remained during the following year, 
representing the chapter in the faculty as an instructor in chemistry. It is 
doubtful if any chapter in the order accomplished better work in its influ¬ 
ence upon its individual members than did Alpha Lambda during the next 
three years of its history. Its ideals and methods of practical usefulness 
were worthy of general imitation ; and the chapter has continued to flourish 
mainly in consequence of them. The chapter devoted itself assiduously 
to the improvement of each of its individual members in every particular 
that goes to the making of a rounded and ideal manhood, accomplishing 
much by the wonderful power of kindly criticism and suggestion. This 
work bore fruit at once in the recognition the University accorded to its 
members, who that year held the positions of President and Vice-President 
of the Athletic Association, President of the junior class, of the Engineers 
Club, of the Athena Society and of the Y. M. C. A., Captain of the Fire 
Brigade, Personal Editor of 7 he Press, and many other minor offices; while 
James W. Vernon, who had been a member of The Trochos board of 1885, 
delivered the salutatory at commencement. The chapter was also invited 
by the other fraternities to participate in the annual Inter-Fraternity Ball; 
and in every, way it took a leading part in the life of the University. 

In April, 1885, the Alpha Lambda inaugurated the series of visits between 
Madison and Beloit, which has drawn it into such delightful intimacy with 
the Alpha Zeta. In subsequent years these visits have been looked forward 
to as the most enjoyable features of fraternity life, and have resulted in both 
pleasure and profit to each chapter. Banquets and parties and contests in 
base-ball and tennis have lent their interest to these memorable occasions. 
In September of 1888 the chapter leased and comfortably furnished a hall of 
its own. Its representation in the University offices continued; and in the

succeeding Summer it sent Robert C. Spencer, Jr., as its delegate to the 
Grand Chapter at Columbus, Ohio, where he was honored as the Grand 
Annotator of the convention. During the previous Winter, another of 
Alpha Lambda’s charter members, Albert T. Schrceder, had been honored 
as the presiding officer of the First Provincial Convention of the Fifth 
Province ; and in 1888 his services to Sigma Chi were again recognized by 
his election as Grand Praetor of his Province. In the University Battalion, 
Sigma Chi has always occupied a prominent position ; and its military 
record has been rivaled by its list of literary and athletic honors. 

No one has ever charged the Alpha Lambda with neglecting its social 
duties. From its first year it has taken a prominent part in the annual 
“Inter-Fraternity Ball.” It has spent many delightful evenings at its 
chapter rooms; and on a number of occasions more elaborate entertain¬ 
ments have been given at the homes of its resident members and friends. 
In November of 1888 it removed its chapter rooms to larger and more com¬ 
fortable quarters; and it is now actively engaged on plans for the early 
acquisition of a Chapter House. Its annual membership during the first 
two years of its history was seven ; during the third year it was eight; 
during the next two years it was twelve and thirteen, respectively; and 
during 1888-9 it reached its highest point with seventeen men. Its duties 
to the general fraternity have always been performed promptly and well, 
and Sigma Chi has justly been proud of its success. 

The rivals of the Alpha Lambda have been Phi Delta Theta (1857-62, 
revived 1880); Beta Theta Pi (1872); Phi Kappa Psi (1874); Chi Psi 
(1878); Kappa Kappa Gamma (1875) ; Delta Gamma (1881) ; Delta Upsi- 
lon (1885), and Delta Tau Delta (1888).

VIRGlHlA MILITARY INSTITUTE. 


This is a State institution. It was founded in 1839 by the State of Virginia and has 
been supported and, through a Board of Visitors appointed by the Governor, has been con¬ 
trolled by the State. It is very similar to the United States Military School at West Point. 
The instruction given is on the line of a carefully arranged curriculum, from which there is 
no variation. There are no elective studies, no courses of study, no schools. For four years 
everything is determined for the student. Nothing is left to his caprice or private judgment. 
His hours of sleep are appointed as well as his studies. A rigid system of discipline covers 
his student life. His hours of study and recreation are determined. His food and raiment, 
his personal order as well as his deportment, are made the subject of specific direction and 
control. Its discipline is military, and hence thorough and absolute , but not arbitrary. Its 
military character grew out of its peculiar origin. The State of Virginia had a deposit of 
arms in an arsenal at Lexington. The State gave to the public guard an annual sum for 
maintaining the arsenal. This annuity was transferred to the Institute and became the basis 
of its support. As the duty imposed upon the students in maintaining the arsenal was 
military, so military instruction and discipline became the distinctive feature in the education 
supplied. The cadets are of two classes,—“State” and “Pay.” The former receive 
tuition and board from the State and, as a condition, teach two years after graduation; the 
latter pay their expenses in full, which average $360 for every charge, including clothing. 

It may be described as a general scientific and military school; and to this description its 
cast iron curriculum is moulded. That it has in this line proved its worth by its work Is 
apparent from the lives of its 1371 graduates. One-tenth of the Confederate armies 
were commanded by the graduates of this school, embracing three Major-Generals, thirty 
Brigadier-Generals, sixty Colonels, fifty Lieutenant-Colonels, thirty Majors, one hundred and 
twenty-five Captains and between two and three hundred Lieutenants. “Stonewall” 
Jackson, Rods and Crutchfield of its professors in 1861, fell in battle beside two hundred 
of its students and graduates. Three hundred and fifty more were wounded. West Point 
alone can show equal proof of bravery and honorable distinction in the line of duty during 
that sanguinary struggle. 

The army of General Hunter destroyed its stately buildings in 1864 along with its 
library of 10,000 volumes. It was then transferred to Richmond and remained in vigorous 
operation until the evacuation of that city April 3, 1865. In October, 1865, it was again 
opened amid its ruins at Lexington with sixteen cadets in attendance, which number 
increased to fifty-five during the academic year. The Legislature of Virginia promptly 
responded to its financial needs, and took measures which resulted in 1870 in a complete 
restoration of its buildings and a full equipment of its laboratories and facilities for instruc¬ 
tion in engineering and drawing. In 1884 further assistance was given by providing for 
the payment of its floating debt and the gradual extinction of its bonded debt. Immediately 
after its reopening in 1865 it entered upon a prosperous period. In 1868-9 no less than 300 
cadets received instruction. 

Of late years this number has not been maintained. Washington and Lee University, 
situated in the same town, with its late distinguished President, Gen. R. E. Lee, and its 
present popular President, Gen. G. W. Custis Lee, has been a most worthy rival in many 
ways, and has drawn much support that at one time was given to the Viginia Military Insti¬ 
tute. The catalogue for 1888 shows Gen. Francis H. Smith, LL.D., at its head, assisted by 
nine professors, giving instruction to one hundred and seventy-six cadets. The State makes 
it an annual appropriation of $30,000.

THE ALPHA MU. 


THE ALPHA MU. 


In 1877, through the efforts of Richard K. Boney, the charter of the 
Zeta, at the Washington and Lee University, was so amended as to allow 
the initiation of students of the Virginia Military Institute. The two insti¬ 
tutions were both located at Lexington and were among the leading schools 
of the South. Seven fraternities were already represented among its cadets ; 
but the standing of the Zeta at Washington and Lee rendered it a matter of 
little difficulty for Sigma Chi to secure the best material in the school. The 
dual chapter flourished far beyond the expectations of those who had 
advocated the amendment to the Zeta’s charter; until finally the size of the 
chapter and the difficulty of arranging meetings to suit the convenience of 
both branches, led the Institute boys to ask for a separate charter. The 
petition was dated December 31, 1884, and bears the names of the follow¬ 
ing as charter members : Robert E. Withers, Robert L. Wilson, Philip St. 
J. Wilson, George B. Edmiston, Turner A. Winfield, Thomas W. Lackland, 
Wilson Arnold, Richard P. Camden, Julius A. Ludwig, Johnson N. Camden, 
George T. Langhorne, William G. Gwatkin, Cecil H. Bomar, Thomas J. 
Nottingham, Porter Arnold and Edwin A. Palmer. The Zeta joined in the 
petition, and a new charter was granted to the Alpha Mu. Such had been 
the literary and social position of Sigma Chi at Lexington that excessive 
confidence was the only thing that the chapter ever feared. It retained 
the leading position as a chapter which it had always occupied as a part 
of the Zeta. Its interest and activity in all phases of fraternity work was 
marked; and the bolt which ended its life fell from a clear sky. Dur¬ 
ing the year 1885 the Board of Trustees of the Institute discovered that 
certain of the other fraternities were engaging in practices that they 
believed had a very injurious effect upon the school; and in the Fall of 
that year stringent anti-fraternity laws were passed. Sigma Chi was in no 
way responsible for the action; and the Grand Council carefully investi¬ 
gated the situation, with the view of securing the repeal or modification of 
the law. Owing to the military character of the Institute, however, they 
were convinced that the effort would be fruitless; and the charter was 
thereupon returned, and the chapter disbanded. 

Up to 1885 the following fraternities had been established at the Vir¬ 
ginia Military Institute : Alpha Tau Omega (1865); (Southern) Kappa Alpha 
(1868); Beta Theta Pi (1869-80) ; Kappa Sigma Kappa (1869); Sigma Nu, 
(1869); Kappa Sigma (1873) i Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1873-9), an( ^ Phi Delta 
Theta (1878).

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. 


The inception of this institution dates back to the heroes of San Jacinto. Fifteen days 
after the Declaration of Texan Independence had been signed, in which the fifty-six signers 
charged against Mexico that she had “failed to establish a system of education.” They 
signed the first Constitution of the Republic of Texas, in which they declared that it should 
“be the duty of Congress to provide bylaw for a general system of education.” In these 
utterances we find the babe in the manger. Thirty-five days thereafter San Jacinto was 
fought, and Texas was free to shape her future for herself. Among her first legislation was 
the setting apart of fifty leagues of land, 221,000 acres, for the establishment and maintenance 
of university education. From the proceeds of these and other lands have come the endow¬ 
ment funds by which the University is now supported. The Congress of the Texan Republic 
n 1839 took steps which resulted in giving the institution its present location. The seat of 
government was by it located at Austin ; and the square of forty acres within the city was 
reserved for the University. 

The Legislature of 1858 passed an act providing for its establishment, but it failed to be 
done. In 1881, forty-two years after the Republic of Texas had provided a site, and after 
lands thus early given had largely been sold and the proceeds were on hand for its mainten¬ 
ance, active steps were at last taken to establish it. A building was erected upon the forty 
acres, now situated in the heart of the city of Austin, and a faculty was appointed. On 
the fifteenth of September, 1883, the University of Texas was formally opened for students, 
with a faculty of eight professors and four assistant professors. The students enrolled during 
the year numbered two hundred and eighteen. By the Constitution adopted in 1876 one 
million acres of land was set apart for its endowment and maintenance ; and by an act of the 
Legislature of 1883 it was further endowed with an additional million acres. To the Congres¬ 
sional land grant of 1862 it became heir, as also to six thousand acres of “ Navigation lands,” 
given under act of 1854. From the sale of lands there has been secured a permanent endow¬ 
ment of $630,321.63, from which there is an annual interest income of $44,712.54. The 
total income for 1887 was $47,942. There remains 2,022,978 acres of unsold lands, which, 
if carefully disposed of or utilized, ought to make the University the best endowed in this 
country. 

Underneath the University and the broad field of its finishing work is a system of public 
instruction that is equally well endowed. The free school fund of Texas is over $5,000,000 
and thirty millions of acres of unsold land. From so vast a field there must go to this head 
and centre of instruction vast multitudes of youth who shall receive its culture and its 
imparted knowledge. The State of Texas seems destined to take a place second to none in 
population and material progress; and this University will surely fulfill the expectations of 
those patriots, who in the early days anticipated and provided for its coming. The men who 
in 1836 declared it to be “ an axiom in political science that unless a people are educated 
and enlightened it is idle to expect the continuance of civil liberty or the capacity for self- 
government,” and who made the want of proper facilities for education one of their grounds 
for declaring Texas free from Mexican rule, do now and will hereafter receive the gratitude 
of the millions dwelling under the banner inscribed with a Single Star.

THE ALPHA NU. 


THE /\LPHA 


Few institutions have begun their career with such magnificent pros¬ 
pects as the University of Texas. Its extensive endowment had attracted 
to it the attention of the entire country; and the Greek-letter societies were 
prompt in asserting their confidence in its future. The opening of its first 
session saw chapters of three fraternities established among its students, to 
be followed by three others in 1884-5. Among these latter was Sigma Chi, 
whose Alpha Nu Chapter owes its origin to Richard B. Levy, Jr., of the 
Tau. Appreciative of the splendid future of the University, he deter¬ 
mined if possible to plant there the standard of the White Cross. He 
graduated from Roanoke College in 1884; and on his return to his home in 
Longview, Texas, he soon pledged four students of the University and pre¬ 
sented, through the delegate of his chapter, a petition to the Fifteenth 
Grand Chapter at Cincinnati. After a full discussion of the advisability of 
the step, this petition was granted by vote of the convention on August 27, 
1884. On the twenty-fourth day of the following September, the petitioners 
wer^ initiated by Levy, at Austin, in the room of his brother, William T. 
Levy, at No. 1410 Congress Avenue. Rogers Whaley was the first initiate; 
and Atwell J. Clopton, William T. Levy and George S. Berry followed in 
order. Eight men composed the chapter during its first year; and it took 
a high position among its numerous rivals. The following year it numbered 
ten men; the next year thirteen, and the next nine. During these years it 
took a leading part in the social, literary, scholarly and athletic affairs of 
the University. It had men on the ball teams and literary contests. Its 
members were editors of the University magazines, and officers of the social 
organizations and of the literary societies; while in the class room they 
acquitted themselves with distinction and graduated with honor. For some 
time after March, 1885, the chapter held its meetings by the courtesy of the 
Knights of Pythias in the attractive hall of that order, subsequently procur¬ 
ing rooms of their own. Its members displayed an enthusiastic interest in 
the work of the fraternity and had confident hopes of uniting the Sigmas 
of Texas in a State association with headquarters at Austin. It had also 
actively entered upon plans for securing a Chapter House ; but in 1888 it 
met with temporary reverses which led to the practical suspension of the 
chapter for over a year. The initial impetus of the University had appar¬

University stopped to gather itself together and to prepare for a more 
natural and healthy growth. During this temporary depression fraternity 
interest lagged, desirable men were scarce, and college spirit of every sort 
was dull and listless. It was simply the loss of the momentum of its phe¬ 
nomenal start and not a real decline in the institution itself. Its affairs 
soon resumed a more healthy tone and its real growth began. The charter 
of the Alpha Nu had not been withdrawn ; and the chapter is again in 
active and successful operation with a membership of excellent men. 

The fraternities that have been established at the University of Texas 
are Phi Delta Theta (1883); (Southern) Kappa Alpha (1883-8); Phi 
Gamma Delta (1883-6); Beta Theta Pi (1884); Sigma Alpha Epsilon 
(1885-8); Kappa Sigma (1885), and Sigma Nu (1887).

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. 


In 1859 th e “University of Lawrence” was opened at Lawrence, Kansas, under the 
auspices of the Presbyterian Church. Money was raised, and a building, now known as 
North College, was begun. Financial embarrassment compelled the suspension of work on 
this building; but soon a reorganization was effected under the control of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church. This organization obtained a charter in 1861 for the “ Lawrence 
University of Kansas.” Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, had donated $10,000 to assist in 
establishing a “school of high grade,” on condition that a like sum should be secured from 
other donations. This sum being obtained, the trustees were enabled to continue the work 
on North College. Here the first classes were organized, and here for several years the 
entire work of the University was done. 

In 1864 the University of Kansas was located at Lawrence, by act of the Legislature. 
It was in part endowed by Congress in setting off 46,000 acres of land for its use. The 
citizens of Lawrence secured to the State 40 acres of land for a campus and all rights and 
interests in the Lawrence University. In this building the first classes of the University of 
Kansas were held, the faculty being composed of four members, two of whom are still con¬ 
nected with the institution. In 1871 the citizens of Lawrence voted $100,000 toward the 
construction of a new building. The Legislature appropriated $50,000 toward its comple¬ 
tion ; and in 1872 classes were held in it. But it was not until 1877, after the appropriation 
of $15,000 more by the Legislature, that the building was finally completed and University 
Hall opened. In 1883 a sum of $12,000 was obtained from the Legislature for the construc¬ 
tion of a building for the use of the Department of Chemistry. This building was ready for 
use in 1884. In 1886 Snow Hall of Natural History was constructed and opened, the Legis¬ 
lature having appropriated $50,000 for that purpose. 

The University, besides the Academic Department, has Departments of Law, of Music, 
of Art, of Pharmacy and a Preparatory Department. The library contains about 11,000 
volumes, among which is a complete congressional record from the First Continental Con¬ 
gress to the present day. The faculty numbers 32 professors; and the total attendance is 
over 500, about 200 of whom are young ladies.

THE ALPHA XI. 


THE ALPHA XI. 


The Alpha Xi owes its origin to Charles L. Smith, whose name has 
since become widely known in the fraternity. In the Fall of 1883, having 
been a student at the University of Kansas, he returned from his vacation 
to find the corridors of the University crowded with students. The frater¬ 
nities at Lawrence then numbered four ; and in addition there was a secret 
anti-fraternity organization, in which Smith had been a member during his 
previous year. This society, however, he had found to be a political organ¬ 
ization ; and its spirit and associations had become so distasteful to him that 
he was led to sever all connections with its members. Being thus thrown 
out of sympathy with the existing fraternities and also with their organized 
opponents, the large number of attractive men among the new students 
naturally suggested to him the formation of a fifth fraternity. With charac¬ 
teristic energy he soon succeeded in gathering a little group of five, who 
were to be the charter members of the prospective chapter. 

Sigma Chi was immediately decided upon as the fraternity of their 
choice ; but for quite a while they were uncertain as to the best method of 
presenting their request. The nearest chapter of which they knew was 
the Alpha Epsilon ; and they had about decided to send one of their num¬ 
ber to the University of Nebraska to secure its assistance, when chance 
brought them the information that an enthusiastic Sigma Chi was nearer at 
hand. This was Rev. Alaric S. Embree, then of Nortonville, Kansas, with 
whom they immediately opened a correspondence. Mr. Embree had been 
a member of the Xi, to which chapter the Hon. John S. McMillin, then the 
Grand Consul of the fraternity, also belonged ; and his influence, which 
was soon enlisted, had much to do with the ultimate success of Smith and 
his associates, who had now increased their number to nine. He instructed 
them to prepare a petition and to forward it to the proper officers of the 
Grand Council. It was some time before an answer was received ; and 
when it came there was consternation; for it informed them that their 
petition had been anticipated by a similar request from the secret anti-fra¬ 
ternity organization, to which reference has already been made and which 
was now embittered against Smith on account of his resignation. 

To both sets of petitioners, the Grand Council had written asking if it 
were not advisable to consolidate their petitions before final consideration 
was given to either of them. To the anti-fraternity organization this propo¬ 
sition was entirely agreeable ; but by the other petitioners it was promptly 
rejected in such strong terms that the Grand Council decided to send a 



UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. 


567 


representative to Lawrence to make a personal investigation. During the 
night of March 10, 1884, Colfax E. Earl, then Grand Tribune of the frater¬ 
nity, arrived at Lawrence ; and during the following day he learned enough 
of the character and standing of the two sets of petitioners to recommend 
the acceptance of Smith and his associates and the rejection of their rivals. 
During a personal visit to Indiana, Embree also personally urged upon the 
officers at Lafayette the granting of a charter ; and as soon as the Grand 
Council had satisfied itself as to the merits of the University, William H. 
Lichty of the Alpha Epsilon, and Rev. A. S. Embree were delegated to 
institute the Alpha Xi. The ceremonies took place on May 23, 1884, at the 
residence of two of the petitioners (Guy R. and John W. Schultz) at Law¬ 
rence ; and the following charter members were initiated : Charles L. 
Smith, Howard F. Albert, Robert L. McAlpine, Guy R. Shultz, John W. 
Shultz, Charles S. Metcalf, George W. Metcalf and Daniel C. Kennedy. 

The men were among the strongest and most popular students of the 
University; and the enviable position of the chapter was conceded from its 
birth. It was but a few days until the commencement exercises of the Uni¬ 
versity, in which Sigma Chi was prominently represented, Smith presiding 
over the joint entertainment of the literary societies and Charles S. Metcalfe 
being one of the orators of the occasion. In September of this year, the 
chapter secured and furnished two convenient rooms as a chapter hall. 
During the year a chapter library was started ; Sigma Chi held the positions 
of Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor of the Courier and President of the 
Courier Company; and the anniversary of its birth was appropriately cele¬ 
brated at commencement by a banquet and a reunion of the members of 
Sigma Chi residing in the general neighborhood of Lawrence. During this 
year the membership was ten. The following session was made memorable 
by the First Convention of the Sixth Province, which occurred at Lawrence 
on May 6, 1886, during the Inter-State Oratorical Contest. This conven¬ 
tion was excellently entertained by the Alpha Xi and was a pronounced 
success. This year the chapter membership reached eleven. 

In 1886-7 a new Sigma Chi hall was secured in the Opera House Block, 
and was fitted up with piano and every accessory of comfort and pleasure ; 
but during January a fire compelled a change, and a further improvement was 
effected by the removal of the chapter to a suite of rooms in the same build¬ 
ing, which were furnished in such a manner as to justify their description as 
the best fraternity quarters at the University. During this year Alpha Xi 
displayed great social activity. Just before the Christmas vacation a recep¬ 
tion was given to it at the residence of Hon. J. D. Bowersock—by no means 
either the first or the last of its entertainments at this elegant home. In 
May the new hall was dedicated with a successful banquet and ball; and 
the year was closed with a boating party; while mention can not be made 
of the many informal entertainments which sustained the social prestige of 


568 


THE ALPHA XI. 


Sigma Chi at the University of Kansas. The honor list of the year com¬ 
prised the positions of representative of the University at the State Oratori¬ 
cal Contest, President of the Science Club, of the Kent Club, of the 
Orphilian Society and of the Athenaeum Society, Treasurer of the Oratorical 
Association, Debater and Essayist on the Oread-Orphilian Contest, Editor 
of the Courier and Editor and Director of the Review . A Sigma Chi dis¬ 
tinguished himself on Field Day by taking one-third of all the prizes ; the 
chapter was also represented on the contests in declamation and oratory 
during commencement week ; and one of its members delivered the address 
to the lower classes on Class Day—a creditable record for fourteen men. 

Since 1886-7 the prosperity and success of the chapter has continued. 
In 1887-8 the membership reached nineteen, and during the succeeding 
year it was fourteen. In society and in the class-room, on the campus 
and on the rostrum, in the literary societies and in the college journalism, 
the Alpha Xi has fully sustained the record of 1886-7. It has taken no 
steps backward, but has gone steadily forward in all the elements of fra¬ 
ternity strength. It has been active in the work of the fraternity at large; 
and Charles L. Smith, its founder, is at present the Grand Praetor of the 
Sixth Province. 

The rivals of Sigma Chi at the University of Kansas are Beta Theta Pi 
(1872); Phi Kappa Psi (1876); Phi Delta Theta (1882); Phi Gamma Delta 
(1882), and Sigma Nu (1885). Coeducation prevails, and there are also 
chapters of Kappa Alpha Theta (1882); Kappa Kappa Gamma (1883) ; and 
Pi Beta Phi (1873).

tUlane university. 


Tulane University dates from July, 1884. In 1882 Mr. Paul Tulane, of Princeton, 
New Jersey, made a donation of his real estate in the city of New Orleans to seventeen 
Administrators, named by himself, to aid in the higher education of the white youth of 
Louisiana. The original gift yielded a revenue of $35,000 per annum; but by gifts subse¬ 
quently made by the same benefactor this has been more than doubled. The Administrators 
of the Tulane Educational Fund, by a contract with the State of Louisiana in 1884, came 
into possession of the University of Louisiana, and stipulated to devote their income to its 
development, under the name of Tulane University. The University of Louisiana was 
recognized in 1879 as the State institution, with Law, Medical and Academical Departments. 
It originated in its Medical Department, which was established in 1834 and gained great 
prestige throughout the Southern States. The Law Department was opened in 1847, and 
the Academical in 1878, both of which were meeting with success. These were all absorbed 
by Tulane University. 

The Act of the General Assembly, under which the University of Louisiana was acquired 
and made the legatee of the “Tulane Educational Fund,” was, by a popular vote in 1888, 
incorporated in the State Constitution. During the fifty-four years of operation of the 
Medical School, 8,583 students have been matriculated and 2,329 diplomas have been con¬ 
ferred. This school has the great Charity Hospital, with its 700 beds and its 600 patients 
annually, as its school for practical instruction. 

At the time of the absorption of the University of Louisiana Col. William Preston 
Johnston was its President, and he was elected President of Tulane University and author¬ 
ized to organize an institution of learning under the terms of Mr. Tulane’s donation. The 
franchises and valuable buildings of the University of Louisiana gave practical shape to the 
purposes of the Tulane Board. There are now fourteen chairs in the University proper, and 
a High School faculty, which has twenty-one professors and instructors. The line between 
university work and collegiate or academic work is sharply drawn. The former is of the 
most advanced character, and is elective. The latter is embraced in a series of equivalent 
curricula extending through seven years, all leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. 
There is a manual training school, intended to make young men experts in wood-working, 
iron-working and machine construction. 

The libraries of the University, besides the State library of 26,000, contain about 20,000 
volumes, with a certain fund of some $2,000 per annum for increase. Mr. Tulane’s gifts up 
to the date of his death, March 27, 1887, had aggregated one million one hundred thousand 
dollars. This sum places the University upon a sound financial basis. The adoption of its 
working scheme into the State Constitution secures permanency in its plans and purposes, 
and brings popular favor to aid it in its honorable career. Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb, 
widow of Warren Newcomb, donated to the University a large sum of money for the endow¬ 
ment of a female college for the higher education of white girls and young women. This 
college was opened October 16, 1887. The attendance during 1887-8 was 150. Its corps of 
teachers numbers fourteen. The Free Drawing School connected with the University is 
exceptionally prosperous. It has been in operation four years. The first year it enrolled 
311 students; the second, 654; the third, 839, and the fourth, 781. The IVfedical Depart¬ 
ment had 305 students during the last Winter. The total attendance in all departments for 
the year 1887-8 was 1,627. The wisdom of founding seats of learning in centres of popula¬ 
tion seems to be apparent in the working of this University. Surrounded by a population of 
nearly 250,000 people, it is accessible to hundreds who could not undergo the heavier expense 
of leaving home.

THE ALPHA OMICRON. 


THE ALPHA OMICRON. 


The project of a Sigma Chi chapter in New Orleans is coeval with 
Tulane University. In 1882, when Mr. Paul Tulane donated his property 
in “ the Crescent City ” to the founding of the University, some half dozen 
members of Sigma Chi, then taking lectures at the Medical Department of 
the University of Louisiana, determined to anticipate the union of the State 
University with the new institution. Their application for a charter was 
granted ; and the chapter was called the Chi Psi. The Tulane University, 
however, was not actually opened for two years; and the attempt to found 
a chapter was indefinitely postponed before any initiations had occurred. 
The charter was retained ; and for some time the members continued to 
watch the development of affairs with interest. Finally, however, they 
became scattered ; and the project was permitted to sleep until January, 
1886, when it was revived through the efforts of James M. Sinnott, of the 
Eta, and Edward W. Terry, who became interested in the fraternity through 
a friend who had been a member of the Pi. Sinnott took the matter actively 
in hand and secured the cooperation of the resident alumni, who now 
believed the time had arrived for the consummation of their long cherished 
plans. Meetings were held ; and under the power of the old charter Edward 
W. Terry, Erasmus D. Fenner and Robert B. Parker were initiated. When 
the information of these steps reached the Grand Council of the fraternity* 
that body decided that the charter of the Chi Psi had expired by non-user, 
and that a new charter would have to be granted in the regular manner 
before a chapter could be located at Tulane. A petition was thereupon 
drawn up and placed before the fraternity, receiving a favorable answer 
about the middle of May, 1886, after a thorough investigation of the 
entire matter. The new chapter received the title of the Alpha Omicron; 
and the following were its charter members: Erasmus D. Fenner, 
Thomas T. Carter, Walter H. Jewell, Frank A. Leovy, Purnell M. Milner, 
Gilbert H. Norton and Samuel Henderson, Jr. The chapter began 
its career under the most favorable circumstances, with enthusiasm and 
energy on the part of its active members and with the support of a 
large body of influential resident alumni. The social and intellectual 
standing of its members was of a high order; and this standard has 
since been maintained. Since its advent at Tulane the badge of Sigma Chi 
has been a mark of social distinction; and its wearers have also won many 
honors at the annual commencements of the various departments. The 
average annual membership has been ten. The University has been pass-

ing through its formative period; and the influence of Sigma Chi has been 
exerted toward the creation of a distinctive college spirit through the intro¬ 
duction of athletic sports and other undergraduate enterprises. In 1888, 
the chapter secured and furnished, with the aid of resident alumni, an 
excellent suite of rooms near the University, as an early approach to the 
chapter house system. 

The rivals of the Alpha Omicron are Kappa Alpha (1885); Alpha Tau 
Omega (1887); Sigma Nu (1889) ; Kappa Sigma (1889 ); Delta Tau Delta 
(1889).

ALBION COLLEGE. 


In 1843 Wesleyan Seminary was opened in Albion, Michigan. It enjoyed a large 
patronage, and aided in preparing both young men and young women for higher institutions of 
learning. After a few years its charter was amended, and it became, with enlarged powers, 
the Albion Female College and Wesleyan Seminary. The success of the college for ladies 
led to the conviction that an institution of a higher order, resting on a broader basis and 
educating the youth of both sexes, would accomplish better results; and, accordingly, in 
1861, the charter was again amended ; full collegiate powers were conferred ; and its name 
was changed to that which it now bears. The results have fully justified these steps. 

Albion is a prosperous city in Central Michigan, with easy communication with the rest 
of the State. The College Campus, in the eastern part of the city, contains fifteen acres, 
and is beautiful for its commanding eminence as well as by reason of its artificial adornment. 
The three main buildings upon it front to the west. They are built of brick and are stuccoed. 
The central one is 40X100 feet and four stories high. It is devoted to the Conservatory of 
Music and the Natural Science Department, Those on either side are 40x80 feet and three 
stories high. The Observatory stands upon the Campus and is admirably equipped. 
The telescope has an eight-inch aperture. The Observatory contains rooms for the Depart¬ 
ment of Astronomy and Applied Mathematics. The outfit for work may be said to be 
thoroughly good. The endowment fund is managed by a committee created and working 
under a special statute and authorized to pay to the Trustees of the College only the interest 
of the fund, securing thereby great safety. No tuition fees are charged, except in the Schools 
of Music, of Painting, and the Commercial Department. The endowment fund is some¬ 
thing like $300,000. The interest from this, the tuition fees above named and incidental 
fees of from two to five dollars meet the expenses of the institution. 

The College is under the control of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Detroit and 
Michigan conferences appointing a majority of its Board of Trustees. The religious tone of 
the College is Christian. All scientific teaching goes forward upon the basis that God rules 
over nature’s laws. The Conservatory of Music has become deservedly popular. The course 
in music covers four years. The courses in Greek, Latin, Chemistry, History and Philosophy 
are all comprehensive and taught with thoroughness. The Commercial Department affords, 
in connection with the College proper, a wider range of study than separate commercial 
schools ordinarily provide. 

The degrees of B.A., B.Ph., B.S., and B.L., are reached by four distinct courses, each 
extending over four years. In the Classical Course, Latin and Greek hold a prominent place. 
In the Latin Scientific, Greek gives place to other studies requiring equal time for their mastery. 
The Scientific devotes its work to Mathematics, Science and History. The English Course 
gives prominence to the study of the English Language, including the Anglo-Saxon, in con¬ 
nection with other studies. In it there is a large number of elective studies. The corps of 
instruction in all the departments numbers twenty. The total attendance for 1887-8 was 
450. The faculty of Albion is friendly to Greek-letter Societies, and seeks to encourage 
everything conducive to the interests of the students. There is an athletic association. 
Foot ball, base ball and all proper amusements are favored. The spirit of the College is up 
to the demands of the times; and it is making rapid strides toward the first rank of educa¬ 
tional institutions.

THE ALPHA PI. 


THE ALPHA PI. 


The germ from which sprung the Alpha Pi Chapter of Sigma Chi, was 
a local organization known by the Roman letters, “ I. S. C.” In the Fall of 
1882, twelve young men, of congenial spirit and associations, rooming in 
close proximity, conceived the idea of forming a secret society for mutual 
improvement in various directions. The idea crystallized, and I. S. C. was 
born to the College. The meetings of the society were held on Wednesday 
evenings, were limited to an hour’s duration, not to interfere with college 
work, and consisted for the most part of short extemporaneous speeches. 
An absence was seldom heard of, and the interest never lagged. Viewing 
it from this distance those seem the halcyon days of the germinating period 
of the chapter’s growth,—meeting in the cramped quarters of the boys’ 
rooms, seated on trunks, boxes, or the edge of the bed, each member in his 
place, eyes sparkling with fraternal friendship, faces flushed with interest, 
listening as each in turn ascended the “ rostrum ” and poured forth a flood 
of boyish elocution. The membership was limited to twelve ; and “ The 
Twelve Apostles ” soon became a common designation. Whenever a 
vacancy occurred it was filled by an initiation. These were events usually 
attended with many difficulties, and were sometimes conducted in some of 
the more commodious quarters of the members, but more often in neigh¬ 
boring barns. Many are the amusing exploits which could be related of 
these occasions. The badge of the society was at first a small square of 
black ribbon, on which was stamped in gold a skull and bones, and, under¬ 
neath, the three letters “ I. S. C.” It was worn stitched to the vest. A 
sensation was created as, one by one, the members were discovered by 
these piratical emblems. Afterwards a coat of arms was adopted,—an owl 
encircled by twelve stars and letters indicating secret mottoes T A mono¬ 
gram pin was designed but not worn. The distinctive signs of membership in 
later years were the autograph cane, carried by every member, and a tri¬ 
colored ribbon of indigo, silver and cardinal worn on the lapel of the coat. 

At the time of organization the only other secret society in existence 
at Albion was the Epsilon Chapter of Delta Tau Delta, established in 1876. 
Rivalry with it was not thought of,—indeed two of the most enthusiastic mem¬ 
bers of 1 . S. C. were also members of Delta Tau Delta. For a time every¬ 
thing went smoothly ; but from the first it was evident that I. S. C. was a child 
of destiny, born to live, grow and become a power in Albion. And the new 
society did grow and waxed exceeding strong, not so much numerically as 
from the interest and enthusiasm it excited in its members and the marked 



ALBION COLLEGE. 


58i 

improvement they made under its influence. Such success excited rivalry 
and invited jealousy. Secret societies sprang up almost without number. 
Even Delta Tau Delta, to keep her members at home, organized a similar 
society and held its meetings contemporaneously. Snubs and sneers were 
not withheld in the effort to proclaim to the little college world the degra¬ 
dation and inferiority of the position of “ Barbarians.” It crept into college 
politics, and many have been the fierce and bitter contests to this day. 
The party lines so deeply graven then, have never been entirely eradicated. 
Two of the Delta Tau Delta members of the society stood by it manfully; 
but the pressure was too strong, and they were at last compelled by an action 
of their chapter to withdraw, which they did reluctantly. This was the 
only time that disruption threatened it, for it was soon found that its rivals 
had “bid” several of its strongest workers. However, this projected coup 
d'etat failed. An informal meeting was held, and the state of affairs was 
earnestly discussed. There was no wavering. Every man stood firm ; and 
it was decided to retaliate by inaugurating an aggressive movement all along 
the line. The constitution was thoroughly revised and changed in nearly 
every respect; the old restrictions were abolished ; a ritual was introduced ; 
the approval of the faculty was secured, and the society soon found itself on 
a firm and substantial footing. 

It was at this period that the thoughts of its members first turned fra¬ 
ternity-ward. They at once commenced investigations and were soon 
conducting negotiations with several fraternites. Some of the members at 
this time became acquainted with certain members of the Alpha Kappa 
Chapter of Sigma Chi, recently established at Hillsdale College, who lost 
no time in convincing them of the superior merits of their fraternity. Nego¬ 
tiations with other parties were at once suspended ; and all the energies of 
the society were devoted to securing a charter from Sigma Chi. The peti¬ 
tion was forwarded, endorsed by Alpha Kappa Chapter ; and a member of 
the Grand Council, Mr. Colfax E. Earl, of the Xi, visited Albion in the 
Spring of 1884 and looked over the institution; but some time after it was 
learned that his report had been unfavorable. Great was the chagrin and 
disappointment, for the movement was well known throughout the institution. 

The next two years were devoted to hard work and earnest effort. A 
large hall in one of the finest business blocks of the city was leased and 
well furnished. The membership of the society increased, and its organ¬ 
ization was perfected. Indeed, it is its boast that at the time of its 
establishment as a chapter of Sigma Chi, few local societies could show 
better organization than did I. S. C. Fraternities were often thought of ; 
and, indeed, several opportunities were offered, which did not come up to the 
ideal of its members, and they waited until they should be able to secure the 
best. During these few years the College also made rapid strides forward, 
nearly doubling both its endowment and the attendance in all departments. 


582 


THE ALPHA PI. 


In February of 1886, Sigma Chi once more came up in the following manner. 
Mr. Frank E. Knappen, of the Omega, then Prosecuting Attorney at Kala¬ 
mazoo, visited Albion occasionally, and, being favorably impressed, urged 
upon his brother, Mr. G. Fred Knappen, a member of the I. S. C., that it 
again petition Sigma Chi. As this was its choice, first, last and all the time, 
a delegate was sent to Kalamazoo ; an interview was held with Mr. Knap¬ 
pen ; and soon the second petition was on its way to the Grand Council. 

This time the merits of the case were thoroughly pushed and investigated. 
Mr. Knappen visited Chicago and personally urged upon the Grand Trium¬ 
virs the recommendation of the petition, in which he was ably seconded 
by Prof. Fred M. Taylor, also a member of the Omega. Personal visits 
were made to Albion by Frederick B. Shepherd, of the Theta Theta, 
George M. Angier, of the Alpha Gamma, and Dr. E. Wyllys Andrews, then 
Grand Praetor of the Fifth Province. The history and the probable future 
of Albion College was fully and judicially investigated, in which President 
Fiske and Professor Taylor gave the representatives of the Grand Council 
every assistance. The result was the complete confidence of the Grand 
Council in the merits and prospects of the institution; and the charter was 
finally granted. The new chapter was established with due ceremony and 
great thoroughness on the evening of June 21, 1886, the installation being 
conducted by Grand Tribune Walter L. Fisher, of the Chi, assisted by 
Elmer E. Carey and Frederick B. Shepherd, of the Theta Theta, Prof. 
Fred M. Taylor and Frank E. Knappen, of the Omega, and George M. 
Angier, of the Alpha Gamma. On the following evening the Alphi Pi gave 
a banquet in honor of Sigma Chi, which was one of the most elaborate and 
successful affairs ever given in the city. The following is a list of the charter 
members in the order of classification : William C. Van Loo, Carmi R. 
Smith, G. William Loomis, Edgar L. Moon, W. Durand Springer, Frank H. 
Loomis, Dwight B. Waldo, G. Fred Knappen, William M. Snell, Shelley B. 
Jones, Anson E. Hagle, William C. Mitchell, Albert P. Stark, John F. 
Critchett, Will S. White, Fisk M. Ray, William J. Smith, Clarence A. Fiske 
and Walter M. Connable. 

Of its subsequent history the Alpha Pi has every reason to be proud. 
Its three years of fraternity life have been characterized by earnest, manly 
effort to bring the chapter up to the fraternity ideal, to make it a credit to 
itself and an honor to Sigma Chi. A conservative policy has always been 
maintained and the greatest care shown in the choice of members. During 
its brief existence the Alpha Pi has graduated fifteen men; and the career 
of its alumni has been a source of pride to the chapter and of honor to the 
institution. The aim of the chapter is to get leaders ; and in this it has been 
eminently successful, as its members are always found in the front rank, 
whether in scholarship, oratory, athletics, the social circle, or any of the 
various phases of undergraduate life. With a good, healthy rivalry fur-

nished by the two fraternities now at Albion, an incentive to hard work is 
not lacking. Feeling the need of the chapter for a permanent home and a 
spot that the Sigs could call their own in the true sense of the term, a beau¬ 
tiful site was secured in the grove on the College Campus ; and an elegant 
building is now in course of erection. “The Lodge” will be made 
entirely of stone, and is of a unique and noble style of architecture, admir¬ 
ably arranged for the use of the chapter. This will be the first fraternity 
building erected at Albion ; and it is a convincing proof of the liberality and 
practical enthusiasm of the alumni of the Alpha Pi and of the genuine 
success of Sigma Chi at Albion College. To its success in other fields, the 
social annals of the town and college, and the honor rolls and lists of prizes 
bear complete witness. So long as it puts forth the same honest, earnest 
endeavor, and displays the same manly and high-minded spirit that has 
characterized its past, no fears need ever be entertained as to its successful 
future. Its average annual membership has been sixteen. 

In addition to the chapter of Delta Tau Delta established in 1876, a 
chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was instituted at Albion College in 1889.

THE LEHIGH UNIVERSITY. 


The flourishing borough of Sonth Bethlehem in the picturesque Valley of the Lehigh 
has the honor of being the seat of this University, which owes its existence to one man—Asa 
Packer, of Mauch Chunk. From his lifelong connection with all efforts to develop the 
many resources of the Lehigh Valley, he keenly felt the need of thoroughly educated 
engineers. He determined to found a University in which young men, free of cost, might 
have the advantages of a course of General Literature, including the Ancient Classics, as 
well as a complete technical education, especially in Civil, Mechanical and Mining Engineer¬ 
ing, Chemistry, Metallurgy and collateral studies. In 1865 he appropriated $500,000, to 
which he added 115 acres of land in South Bethlehem as a park and site. He named it 
“The Lehigh University.” The Legislature chartered it in 1866. 

During his lifetime Judge Packer expended about $1,500,000 on the University. He 
died May 17, 1879, and bequeathed as an endowment for the University $1,500,000 and for 
the Library $500,000 more. He had shortly before his death erected, at a cost of $100,000, 
a handsome library building. It is of stone, fire-proof, semicircular in form, and contains 
shelf-room for 160,000 volumes. Sixty-eight thousand volumes are now in place, and with 
the endowment the number will increase every year. On the expiration of various life-trusts, 
created by Judge Packer’s will, the remainder of his large estate will come to the University, 
making it one of the wealthiest institutions in the United States. 

The buildings are nine in number. Packer Hall, built of stone, stands at the head of a 
beautiful terrace seven hundred feet back from the main entrance to the Park. The Chemical 
Laboratory is of stone, fire-proof, 219 by 44 feet. It is well and thoroughly appointed. 
The quantitative and qualitative sections accommodate 48 and 84 students respectively. It is 
among the finest in the country. There are also the Metallurgical, the Physical and the 
Hydraulic Laboratory buildings, the Sayre Observatory, the Library, the Gymnasium, the 
Church and Christmas Hall. The Gymnasium is large and finely finished. It has two 
stories of stone and a third of wood, and cost $40,000. It is a model structure, equipped on 
Dr. Sargent’s plan, with billiard-room and bowling-alleys, etc. The Church, built in 1887, 
is a memorial to a daughter of the founder. It is a magnificent edifice, richly appointed, 
and cost $350,000. All of the buildings are heated by steam, which comes from one boiler- 
house containing ten large boilers. 

The University embraces the following departments: The College of General Litera¬ 
ture, which includes (1) the School of Arts, (2) the School of Philosophy, (3) the School of 
Science and Letters ; the College of Technology, which includes the Schools of (1) Civil, (2) 
Mechanical and (3) Electrical Engineering, (4) the School of Mining and Metellurgy, (5) the 
School of Analytical Chemistry. There were over four hundred students in attendance 
during the last year. There is no Preparatory School. The first graduates were three in 
number in 1869. The alumni are now 318, of whom 66 composed the class for 1888. No 
more able faculty is to be found in any institution of its kind. Its present wealth is such 
that it can command the best talent obtainable. Robert A. Lamberton, LL.D., is its most 
efficient President. The heads of the different schools have all won reputations by their 
work. The direct result of this, together with the rigid course of study and the high standard, 
is that the men sent forth are making an enviable reputation for their Alma Mater. Although 
young, they are holding high positions of trust in government service and in the rail¬ 
way, mining and manufacturing enterprises or onr country. The graduates of Lehigh are 
sought after second to no other School of Technology. In a word, Lehigh University is a 
well appointed, progressive and most successful educational institution. The University was 
placed by its founder under the control of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The Bishop of 
the diocese of Central Pennsylvania is one of the Board of Trustees.

THE ALPHA RHO. 


THE ALPHA RHO. 


One January evening in 1886, three firm friends, Harvey M. Wetzel, 
Alfred K. Leuckel and Harry R. Woodall, students at Lehigh University, met 
according to their custom at the rooms of one of their number in the old 
dormitory building which has since been remodeled for use as a physical 
and electrical laboratory. In the course of their social chat the conversa¬ 
tion turned on secret societies in general and college fraternities in particu¬ 
lar. The immediate cause of the discussion was the unpopular character 
and conduct of a certain fraternity, which had become a matter of general 
remark about the University. During the conversation the three friends dis¬ 
covered that they were unanimous in the opinion that the fraternities of 
Lehigh failed to secure that fraternal affinity and mutual usefulness, which 
they believed to be the only justification for such societies. They also dis¬ 
covered that they were equally convinced of the success at Lehigh of an 
organization which would confine its aims to fraternal friendship and the 
mutual improvement of its members, and which would refrain from intrigue 
and offensive clannishness. The result of the evening’s talk was the forma¬ 
tion of the Crimson Halberd Society. 

In its original conception this society was to be radically different from 
the Greek-letter fraternities. All that even savored of the Greek was 
rejected; and the age of chivalry was chosen as the source of name and 
badge, the latter being a plumed helmet, with visor closed, in white enamel 
on a crimson field. As soon as the organization had been completed 
William R. Sattler, Charles A. Junken, Charles R. Phillips and Edmund 
Bates were initiated, and seven members appeared with the halberd shining 
on their vests. They were all able, manly fellows and consistently adhered 
to the policy with which their society had been founded. They prospered 
from the beginning, and soon secured a suite of rooms in the First National 
Bank building on the principal street in Bethlehem, which were handsomely 
furnished, a piano being one of the early acquisitions. An invitation from 
a large and influential fraternity was soon received, only to be rejected 
after a spirited discussion. The fame of the little society spread, and a 
number of prominent students of Lafayette College requested the privilege 
of establishing a “ commandery ” at that institution ; but the fear of deteri¬ 
oration determined it to refuse all offers of extension and to remain a purely 
local organization. 

In this decision the society continued in perfect contentment until Feb¬ 
ruary, 1887, when Harvey M. Wetzel was persuaded by a warm personal 



LEHIGH UNIVERSITY. 


5^9 


friend in the Omicron Chapter of Sigma Chi to present his fraternity to its 
notice. Another spirited debate resulted, and much investigation into the 
character of the fraternity. The farther the inquiry proceeded the more 
were the members of the society attracted by the character and spirit of 
Sigma Chi; and finally Wetzel was instructed to write to Dr. Alex. A. 
Sharp, of Philadelphia, then Grand Praetor of the First Province, for addi¬ 
tional information. Dr. Sharp immediately paid Bethlehem a visit, and 
personally answered the questions. After his departure all of the members 
of the Crimson Halberd, except two who were directly interested in the 
fraternity which had previously been rejected, joined in a petition to the 
Sigma Chi. Much correspondence followed ; and the desire of the society 
to secure a charter rose during the progress of the thorough and searching 
investigation of the Grand Council. In April, Mr. B. F. McCann, of the 
Mu, was sent to Lehigh as the representative of the Council. Assisted by 
Snowden Ashford, of the Phi, he spent three days in a careful examination 
of the situation. By this time the petitioners had became enthusiastic in their 
opinions of Sigma Chi, and had firmly resolved that if they failed to receive 
a charter from it they would forever remain a local society. 

The weeks dragged wearily enough; but McCann had made a favor¬ 
able report, and on the 28th of May the welcome news arrived that the 
petition had been granted. As the end of the term was approaching, no 
time was lost in perfecting arrangements for the formal institution of the 
chapter. At an early hour on the evening of June 6, 1887, the active mem¬ 
bers of the Crimson Halberd Society met at their rooms, and transacted 
the business necessary to the proper winding up of the society’s affairs. 
Scarcely had this been concluded when the members of Sigma Chi from 
the neighboring Pennsylvania colleges, as well as those residing in Bethle¬ 
hem, began to assemble. A noted orchestra from Allentown also arrived, 
took possession of one of the rooms and enlivened the subsequent proceed¬ 
ings with appropriate music. Grand Praetor John S. Happer, of the Beta, 
had been delegated to institute the Alpha Rho ; and in the ceremonies of 
the occasion, which occurred in the Hall of the Grand Army of the Repub¬ 
lic, he was assisted by visiting members of Omicron, Theta, Kappa, Phi and 
Omega. The elegant and successful banquet was held at Broadhead’s Hall, 
and was participated in by a large number of resident and visiting members, 
with Hon. Robert E. James, of the Phi, at the head of the table. The char¬ 
ter members of the new chapter were Harvey M. Wetzel, Alfred K. Leuckel, 
Harry R. Woodall, Edmund Bates, William R. Sattler, Charles W. Corbin, 
Edward B. Wiseman, Charles R. Phillips, George K. Anderson, John T. 
Hoover, Francisco J. Manrique, William D. Matheson and William H. 
Hubbard. That they were men worthy of a charter from Sigma Chi has 
been shown by the subsequent success of the Lehigh chapter. In every

enterprise of the University and in every contest for honor its members 
have acquitted themselves with unusual credit. The manly spirit of its men, 
their genuine fraternal feeling and their popularity among their fellow 
students have been distinguishing characteristics of the Alpha Rho. What 
it has accomplished in athletics and in the various organizations of the Uni¬ 
versity, is best told by the biographies of its members. That it has not yet 
entered a Chapter House is due solely to the fact that it has been unwilling 
to accept the houses which it has been possible to secure; but it now hopes 
for the early realization of plans already formed which will enable it to 
acquire a home worthy of Sigma Chi. 

The fraternities at Lehigh University include Phi Kappa Sigma (1869-77); 
Chi Phi (1872); Delta Tau Delta (1874-86; re-established 1887); Delta 
Beta Phi (1878-82) ; Alpha Tau Omega (1882); Phi Theta Psi (1882); 
Delta Phi (1883); Psi Upsilon (1884); Theta Delta Chi (1884); Delta 
Upsilon (1885); Sigma Phi (1887); Sigma Nu (1886); Phi Gamma Delta 
(1886), and Phi Delta Theta (1876-77 ; re-established 1887).

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA. 


In 1851 the Legislature of the Territory of Minnesota (which had been organized 
two years previously) passed a law providing for the establishment of a university. Six 
days later Congress appropriated “ a quantity of public lands, not exceeding two entire town¬ 
ships, for the use and support of the University of the State of Minnesota.” A preparatory 
department was opened in November, 1851, and was continued three years. Minnesota 
became a State in 1857, and made generous provision for her University; but the financial 
reverses of 1857-8 followed, and the south wing of the main building (built in 1856) remained 
unoccupied for many years. When the perils of the civil war were over, the Legislature 
appointed a special committee, of which John S. Pillsbury was chairman, with full power to 
sell property and pay debts. The Board was occupied with this duty until 1867, and then 
reported the indebtedness liquidated by the sale of lands. For its salvation in this crisis, as 
well as for its after prosperity, the University is largely indebted to the ably-directed and 
unfailing interest of Governor Pillsbury. Besides other gifts and the establishment of 
prizes in the Rhetorical Department, he gave $150,000 in 1889 for the completion and equip¬ 
ment of Science Hall. In October, 1867, the Preparatory Department was again opened with 
three teachers in the University building, which had stood empty for nearly ten years. It was 
not until the Summer of 1869 that arrangements were made to begin college work proper. 
A faculty of nine members was elected, and on the 13th of September entered upon its duties. 
The University is, therefore, in reality not quite twenty years old. The President, during the 
first fifteen of these years, was William W. Folwell, LL.D., who was called to the presidency 
(in 1869) from Kenyon College, Ohio. To him is due the credit of thoroughly organizing 
and successfully starting the prosperous life of the institution. Dr. Folwell is at present 
Professor of Political Science and Librarian of the University. Cyrus Northrup, LL.D., was 
called from a professorship in Yale College in 1884 to the presidency of the institution, and 
has successfully conducted its affairs ever since. 

The work of the University is divided into five distinct departments. The first is that of 
Science, Literature and Arts, consisting of the three courses of study implied by these words, 
and leading to the usual degrees. The second, the College of Mechanic Arts, covers courses 
in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, and architecture. In these two departments 
there were last year 355 students. The third department, that of the College of Agriculture, 
contained last year, ten students out of a total of 496—this in the face of the fact that a 
farm of 250 acres, with experimental station, work rooms, etc., has been provided. In 1888, 
the fourth department—that of Law—was formally opened. The Department of Medicine 
and Dental Surgery has been planned but not organized as yet. 

Gymnastic training is provided for in two rooms of the Drill Hall, fitted with apparatus 
furnished by the students. Edwin F. Glenn, First Lieutenant of the 25th U. S. Infantry, is 
Prof, of Military Science. The buildings of the University are situated in a tract of forty 
acres, beautifully located on the borders of the city of Minneapolis. Among them is the 
largest Drill Hall in the United States, which was completed in the Summer of 1884. It 
also serves as a large assembly hall, and will seat comfortably 3,500 people. The building 
of the College of Mechanic Arts contains $10,000 worth of machinery. The Science Hall 
and Museum is just about completed at a cost of $200,000. The Students’ Christian Asso¬ 
ciation has erected a handsome building of brown stone, costing $15,000. 

The Museum is especially rich in geological specimens, being in direct charge of the 
State Geologist. The University is charged by law with the work of the geological and 
natural history survey of the State, under the direction of the Board of Regents. The 
Library contains some 20,000 volumes, located on the first floor of the main building. The 
increase in the number of students from 496 last year to 750 this year, indicates how rapid 
will be the still greater progress of the institution.

THE ALPHA SIGMA. 


THE ALPHA SIGMA. 


The question of the establishment of a chapter at the University of 
Minnesota was first formally presented to the fraternity through a commun¬ 
ication from Will H. Rogers, of the Alpha Zeta, to the Grand Chapter of 
1888. For some time prior to this date the twin cities of St. Paul and Min¬ 
neapolis had been rapidly growing as a center of Sigma Chi strength ; and 
through these resident members the Grand Council had kept close watch 
upon the State University. Circumstances, however, had not seemed to 
justify the establishment of a chapter; and the fraternity had waited 
for a more satisfactory opportunity. That it now presented itself was 
due to the efforts of George H. Meacham, of the Alpha Zeta, who had 
entered the University during 1887-8. With the assistance of Rogers 
and other resident members he had gone quietly and systematically to work 
to secure the material for a chapter equal to the best the institution con¬ 
tained ; and it was in view of his success that the convention was asked to 
express an opinion upon the granting of a charter. That body, by appro¬ 
priate resolution, declared its good opinion of the University, but referred 
all other questions to the Grand Council for its investigation, which was 
conducted with the customary thoroughness and despatch. The resident 
alumni took an active interest in the project and reported in favor of the 
petitioners. Grand Quaestor Walter L. Fisher and Grand Praetors Charles 
L. Smith, of the Sixth Province, and Albert T. Schroeder, of the Fifth, per¬ 
sonally visited the institution and endorsed the petition. During the month 
of November the Grand Council unanimously voted to issue the charter; 
and on December 7, 1888, the Alpha Sigma was established. The ceremo¬ 
nies, followed by an elegant banquet, occurred at the West Hotel in Minne¬ 
apolis, and were participated in by visiting and resident members of Beta, 
Zeta, Psi, Beta Beta, Lambda, Theta, Xi, Omega, Alpha Lambda, Alpha 
Zeta and Delta Delta. Charles H. Eldridge, of the Delta Delta, formerly 
Grand Praetor of the Fourth Province, conducted the initiation, and on 
behalf of his chapter presented the Alpha Sigma with a handsome and 
unique gavel appropriately engraved. Since its establishment the chapter 
has been eminently successful, and now occupies an excellent Chapter 
House at the corner of Fourteenth Avenue and Seventh Street, S. E. 

The other fraternities are : Chi Psi (1874); Phi Delta Theta (1881) ; 
Kappa Kappa Gamma (1880) ; Delta Gamma (1882); Delta Tau Delta 
(1883); Phi Kappa Psi (1888), and Kappa Alpha Theta (1889).

University of north Carolina. 




The University of North Carolina is located at Chapel Hill, a village of about one 
thousand inhabitants, lying near the center of the State, just midway between Raleigh, its 
capital, and Greensboro, one of its largest cities. It is, perhaps, by nature the prettiest 
village in the State, the site having been selected because of its beautiful undulations of 
surface and its magnificent forests. The village occupies a part of the eleven hundred and 
eighty acres originally granted to the University, and was laid off in 1793, in conjunction 
with the erection of the first University building. The campus consists of about fifty acres, 
so covered with old oaks, hickories and other giants of the forest, as to hide the buildings 
from the rest of the village. The buildings are ten in number, comprising extensive dormi¬ 
tories, a well-equipped gymnasium, an auditorium having a seating capacity of 2,500, besides 
the other usual buildings for collegiate purposes. 

The University is sustained by an annual appropriation of $27,500 from the State treas¬ 
ury. The total value of its land and buildings is estimated at over $350,000. The influence 
of the University upon the State has been so marked that further liberality is to be expected 
of the Legislature. Among its alumni who have become prominent in the State and Nation 
may be mentioned James K. Polk, John Y. Mason, Thomas H. Benton, Judges Pearson and 
Dick, and Bishops Green and Hawks. 

The act which originally incorporated the University was passed in 1789, though its 
inception occurred during one of the darkest periods of the Revolutionary War. In the 
Constitution which the people of North Carolina adopted December 18, 1776, the Scotch- 
Irish Presbyterians were instrumental in having this clause inserted : 

“A school or schools shall be established by the Legislature for the convenient instruc¬ 
tion of youth, with such salaries to the masters, paid by the public, as may enable them to 
instruct at low prices; and all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one 
or more universities.” 

Though the University is thus coeval with the life of the State, it was not formally 
opened until 1795. No President of the University was elected until 1804, when Rev. 
Joseph Caldwell, D.D., who had been, since 1796, Professor of Mathematics, was elected to 
that office. With the exception of four years, which he spent in preparing a treatise on 
geometry, he occupied the presidency till his death in 1835. On his return from a trip to 
Europe in 1827, he built an astronomical observatory, which was the first in the United 
States. Rev. Dr. Elisha Mitchell was the most noted contemporaneous member of the 
faculty; and on account of his untiring scientific investigations, the highest peak of the 
Alleghenies—Mt. Mitchell—was named for him. On this mountain he was accidentally 
killed while engaged in scientific work, and there he was buried. 

During the administration of the third President, David Lowry Swain, LL.D., the 
Law School had its origin, in 1846. The fifth and present President, Kemp Plummer Battle, 
LL.D., began a successful management of the University’s affairs in 1876. 

The University, as now constituted, embraces the following departments : The Literary 
Department, the Scientific Department, the School of Normal Instruction, the College of 
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and the School of Law. Since 1876 the annual enrollment 
of students has averaged about one hundred and seventy-five. The Law Department con¬ 
tained, in 1887-8, 26 of the 203 students. It is the only regularly organized law school in 
the State. Since the foundation of the University about five thousand students have matri¬ 
culated. The government of the University is entrusted to a Board of Trustees, elected 
by a joint vote of the General Assembly.

THE ALPHA TAU. 


THE ALPHA TAU. 


The incidents connected with the establishment of Sigma Chi at the 
University of North Carolina are few. The college year of 1888-9, found 
in the University a little band of six students, who were fast friends and con¬ 
stant companions, and who preferred to perpetuate their friendship rather 
than separate among the various fraternities already established and by 
which they had been solicited. They carefully deliberated over the selec¬ 
tion of a fraternity to which they should apply for a charter, and decided 
upon Sigma Chi. In March, 1889, a correspondence was opened with the 
Gamma Gamma ; and through it they were placed in communication with 
the Grand Council. Upon the receipt of the petition, Richard H. Bennett, 
of the Gamma Gamma, formerly Grand Prsetor of the Second Province, was 
delegated to visit Chapel Hill and make a personal investigation. His 
exhaustive report was favorable to the petitioners and to the institution ; 
and the charter was granted. 

The ceremonies of initiation were performed on May 29, 1889, by 
Frank Talbott, of the Gamma Gamma, assisted by Robert E. Carr, a charter 
member of the same chapter, now a resident of Chapel Hill. After the 
Alpha Tau Chapter had been formally instituted, an elaborate banquet was 
held at the Chapel Hill Hotel, representatives of the local chapters of Phi 
Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Kappa Epsilon, 
Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon being present and warmly 
welcoming the new chapter to a generous rivalry. The charter members 
were Hanson F. Murphy, William B. Ricks, Neill A. Currie, Richard A. 
Urquhart, Frank M. Shannonhouse and Francis M. Clarke. They are all 
sons of fine old families of Virginia and North Carolina; and socially, 
morally and intellectually the Alpha Tau represents the best spirit of the 
University. It enjoys the confidence and commands the respect of faculty 
and students ; and Sigma Chi has entered upon its history in the “ Old 
North State” with every assurance of success. 

The following fraternities have established chapters at the University : 
Delta Kappa Epsilon (1850-61; reorganized, 1857); Phi Gamma Delta 
(1851-61; reorganized, 1888); Phi Delta Theta (1852-61; reorganized, 
1885) ; Delta Psi (1854-63); Delta Phi (1855-61); Chi Psi (1855-61); Phi 
Kappa Sigma (1856-61 ; reorganized, 1877); Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1853-62; 
reorganized, 1885); Theta Delta Chi (1857-62); Zeta Psi (1858-68 ; reor¬ 
ganized, 1885) ; Chi Phi (1858-67) ; Alpha Tau Omega (1879); (Southern) 
Kappa Alpha (1881) ; Pi Kappa Alpha (1881) ; and Sigma Nu (1888).

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 


The University of Southern California was organized in 1880. The first department to 
open work was the College of Liberal Arts. The next was the College of Agriculture, 
opened in 1883. After that came the College of Medicine, organized in 1885, and the 
College of Theology, organized in 1887 ; while the Departments of Fine Arts and of Applied 
Sciences are now in process of organization. The plan of the University is different from any 
other American institution. The several departments, instead of being gathered closely 
together in one place, are somewhat widely separated ; but they are all under one manage¬ 
ment and, like the States of the American Union, are but parts of one great system. 

The growth of the institution has been phenomenal. Starting in 1880, without a student, 
a dollar of endowment, a professor, or a college building, it now has an endowment in money 
and lands estimated at three million dollars, has six first-class college and seminary buildings, 
employs over fifty professors and instructors, and last year enrolled 447 students. To Presi¬ 
dent M. M. Bovard, D.D., who organized the first department, and who has been the 
President of the University from the beginning—a man of indomitable energy, large faith 
and power of organization—to him more than to any other man, or set of men, is due the 
present success and standing of this institution. But it is only fair to say that he has had the 
support of a Board of Directors composed of large-minded Christian men. Otherwise such 
success would have been impossible. 

The College of Liberal Arts, as it was the original nucleus, so it still remains the head 
of the educational system. It has three parallel courses of study, Classical, Philosophical 
and Scientific. The requirements for admission to college and the character of work done, 
compare favorably with that of our oldest institutions. Up to two years ago this department 
was under the direct management of Dr. Bovard, President of the University. At that time 
the Board of Directors wisely decided to relieve the President of the immediate management 
of this department, thus allowing him to devote his energies to the organization and equip¬ 
ment of all departments of the University work. At that time Rev. W. S. Matthew, A.M., 
D.D., a member of Omega Chapter of Sigma Chi, was elected Dean of the College of 
Liberal Arts, under whose management it has had continued prosperity and a steady increase 
in the number of students. 

During the past year (1888-9) Hon. E. F. Spence has deeded to the University property 
in Los Angeles valued at $75,000, as the beginning of an endowment ior a first-class Observ¬ 
atory. Other gifts have already been made, and President Bovard expects, within the next 
five years, to see a high grade Observatory, well equipped, suitably endowed and in success¬ 
ful operation on some near peak of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Indeed, through Mr. 
Alvin Clark, of Cambridge, Mass., a forty-inch object glass has already been purchased of 
Mons. Mantoi, of Paris. This glass is to be on exhibition at the great Paris Exposition, and 
will then be shipped to the Clarks, and there ground and mounted for use. - 

Southern California has every assurance of a grand future. It is a country to itself, 
practically shut off from the northern portion of the State, and very few men go north to be 
educated. The University has the field practically to itself. It has already taken high rank, 
and possesses the enthusiastic support of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is uncom¬ 
monly strong in all Southern California, especially as to wealth and social standing. 



THE ALPHA UPSILON. 


604 


THE /\LPRA UPSILON. 


The latest addition to the chapter roll of Sigma Chi is the Alpha 
Upsilon, established on June 8, 1889. In the Fall of 1888, the Grand Coun¬ 
cil received a communication from W. Scott Matthew, D.D., of the Omega, 
then Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Southern 
California, stating that a movement was then on foot to establish a chapter 
at that institution. The movement had its origin with eight students of the 
University and was warmly advocated by Dr. Matthew and a number of the 
well-known Sigmas of Los Angeles. The petitioners, for a petition soon 
followed, were the choice men of the institution; and during the subsequent 
investigation they showed themselves possessed in an unusual degree of the 
genuine fraternity spirit. The city of Los Angeles seems to have become 
the Sigma Chi center of the Pacific Slope ; and to such men as Freeman G. 
Teed, of the Kappa, Nathaniel P. Conrey, of the Xi, and Clarence A. Miller, 
of the Beta, the Council turned for information. Their answers disclosed a 
situation that appealed at once to the favorable opinion of the fraternity,— 
a young and marvellously prosperous institution, supported by an extensive, 
cultivated and wealthy church, conducted upon broad and liberal principles 
and possessing an endowment of three millions of dollars; a body of peti¬ 
tioners of high social, moral and intellectual standing, manly, warm-hearted 
fellows, thoroughly in earnest in their plans for a first-class fraternity chap¬ 
ter ; a resident alumni prominent in the community, full of genuine interest 
in Sigma Chi and anxious to secure an active chapter in their immediate 
neighborhood. Action, however, was deferred to learn the views of the 
Alpha Beta ; for it was most directly interested in the establishment of a 
second chapter in the State. The Berkeley chapter acted with character¬ 
istic energy ; and in April, 1889, Charles A. Noble went to Los Angeles to 
make an independent investigation. He returned with the highest opinion 
of both the petitioners and the University; and the Alpha Beta added its 
endorsement to the prayer for a charter. 

The Grand Council promptly voted to establish the chapter, and gave it 
the title of the Alpha Upsilon. The papers authorizing the organization 
were received on June 6 ; and on Saturday, June 8, 1889, the following 
eight were initiated as charter members: William C. Whitcomb, Paul 
Arnold, Eiger A. Reed, Edward B. Stewart, Clinton A. Bradley, Thomas W. 
Robinson, Elmer E. Hall and George Sinsabaugh. The rites of initiation 
were conducted by Freeman G. Teed, of the Kappa, Clarence A. Miller, of 
the Beta, Nathaniel P. Conrey, of the Xi, Orr Haralson, of the Pi, W. Scott 



UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 605 

Matthew, of the Omega, William E. Wright, of the Xi, and Milton Vernon, of 
the Alpha. Teed had secured for the occasion the magnificent hall of the 
Mystic Shrine, together with all the elaborate paraphernalia of that Masonic 
order ; and few chapters have started under more startling auspices. After 
the Alpha Upsilon had been regularly organized, the first real business was 
the initiation by its own officers of two new members, Lloyd B. Christy and 
George D. Christy, thus increasing the membership to ten. The party then 
adjourned to the local Delmonico’s, and had a jolly time at a pleasant little 
supper, where a number of excellent speeches were made. 

On the Tuesday evening following, the Alpha Upsilon gave its first recep¬ 
tion to the resident alumni of the fraternity, the faculty of the College of 
Liberal Arts, and the two ladies’ fraternities. It used five rooms in the 
College of Music building, and had them tastefully and elaborately deco¬ 
rated. An excellent orchestra was in attendance ; and suitable refreshments 
were served. Among the handsome floral tributes of the occasion was one 
from Mrs. M. M. Bovard, the wife of the President of the University. In 
addition to the resident members already mentioned, Charles C. Davis, of the 
Gamma, and Williel Thomson, of the Chi, were present at the reception. 
It is probably needless to add that the event was a complete success. At 
the very outset of its career the chapter decided to enter a Chapter House; 
and by the opening of the Fall session it had secured an excellent home. 
Sigma Chi has every reason to congratulate herself that she can close this 
series of her chapter histories with the brief record of the Alpha Upsilon. 

Thus far the only other fraternities established at the University of 
Southern California are the Kappa Alpha Theta and the Delta Gamma.
